A kid comes walking through the lobby of the outpatient barracks wearing shorts and a t-shirt.
CQ (Charge of Quarters, i.e., the on duty person responsible for the barracks and its patients): Are you on pass? (Civilian clothing may only be worn when on pass.)
Kid: Huh?
CQ: Are you on pass?
Kid: I don't know what that is.
CQ: Are you WTU? (Civlian clothing may be worn by patients here for the 8-week PTSD program. They are then considered WTU instead of MTD patients.)
Kid: Huh?
CQ: Are you WTU?
Kid: I don't know what that is.
CQ: Did you get the briefing?
Kid: Huh?
CQ: The patient inprocessing briefing - did you get it?
Kid: ....
The CQ thinks for a minute, then asks, "Are you a Marine?"
Kid: Yeah.
(Just kidding!! Everyone knows I love the Marines. Especially this one.)
