the sargent major got all the recruits on the parade ground ,when they were all standing at attention he screamed out ,jones take one pace forward .
when he did the sargent major screamed i have a message for you ,your mother has died .well poor old jones just collapsed in a heap and the colonel called the sargent to one side and said to him you must have no feelings ,what you did to poor old jones was dissgusting in future use a bit of tact or you will be demoted.
a couple of weeks later he got all the recruits on the parade ground again and when they were at attention he screamed out all those with a father take one pace forward .they all took one pace forward and he screamed out jones where the hell are you going.
