“YES, SIR (MA’AM).”
“NO, SIR (MA’AM).”
“NO EXCUSE, SIR (MA’AM).”
“SIR (MA’AM), I DO NOT KNOW.”
“SIR (MA’AM), I DO NOT UNDERSTAND.”
“SIR (MA’AM), MAY I MAKE A STATEMENT?”
“SIR (MA’AM), MAY I ASK A QUESTION?”
Remember only three of the responses do not start with Sir/Ma'am. I try to get those out of the way first when I say them.
Also note that the other four remaining responses go hand and hand with atleast another response. Ie. "Sir I do not know" and "Sir I do not understand." |

“WE WILL NOT LIE, STEAL, OR CHEAT, NOR TOLERATE AMONG US ANYONE WHO DOES.”
Really the only thing to look out for is the ending "among us anyone who does." I would just waterfall it until it becomes second nature. |

Off we go into the wild blue yonder,
Climbing high into the sun;
Here they come zooming to meet our thunder,
At'em boys, giv'er the gun!
Down we dive spouting our flame from under
Off with one hell – uv - a - roar.
We live in fame or go down in flame
Hey! Nothing'll stop the US Air Force!
