I love the E-Ring!


The opposite of reality TV



OK, no I don't.

But thank goodness for Hollywood. I mean, where else might we get a shallow, superficial, concocted, apocryphal depiction of the military. I suppose we could watch the evening news....

Anyhow, to further show my respect for E-Ring's portrayal of how one man can save countries and influence national policy, I offer a sneak peak of the classified episode guide to the rest of the show's exciting season! (Maybe that is the SECRET document that Dennis Hopper is cavalierly carrying around the hallways of the Pentagon in the photo above?)

Here is next week's show:
Episode 5: CFC Campaign [Combined Federal Campaign Campaign - the feds United Way campaign, as written by the Department of Redundancy Department]. As the new guy, the Major is assigned the additional duty as the Combined Federal Campaign officer of OSD. He struggles to meet the SECDEFs goal of 100% participation in the office. Knowing that this could jeopardize his future, he get on the secure SATCOMM and calls his buddies deep in the mountains of Afghanistan to get them to contribute. He then jacks up the Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs and his staff saying "even my guys in the field donate". The Chairmen congratulates him, awards him an impact JSCOM [Joint Service Commendation Medal], and reprimands his staff for not supporting the CFC.

The rest of the top secret list can be found here. (Hat Tip: Arghhh!!!)

Anyone who has spent any time in the real military will appreciate the humor. Of course from a military perspective, E-Ring doesn't need much help being a comedy.
