The most memorable excuse I heard was "Jesus is my Battle Buddy".

Wait a minute he was just here, somebody must've kidnapped him, we need to alert the MPs, please SGT help me find him or the MPs.

When I stopped laughing I reamed him for about 10 minutes and then turned him over to his PSG, I was currently on CP at the time.

In basic my "Battle Buddy" was a profile, no style... I'd always say, "He's at troop medical Drill Sergeant!"

Sergeant, I have an M16. She is my battle buddy. And *she* has 210 of her own little battle buddies, including one in the chamber. Can I go do some actual work, now?

I was in and out by the time I heard of the term “Battle Buddy “ my platoon Sergeant’s term was “You sh*#t heads better look after each other out there” he was right,over course SFCs are always right! Welcome Home Brothers
