This is mutating, but I can't resist.

In the army, I have sent many a new troop for
A. 50 feet of flight line.
B.  5 gal of prop wash (or rotor wash)
C.  A box of grid squares.
D.  To calibrate flashlight springs.
E.  1D10T diodes.

But the best ever...

Getting a new louie (2nd Lieutenant) to call the local zoo and
ask to speak to Mr. Lyon.  We were rolling on the floor, one
tried it twice....

This should make you smile while you design your next antenna
project.  (obligatory antenna ref.)
