Песня о десяти маленьких парашютистах

---

Ten Little Paratroops

To the tune of 'The Bali of Kirriemui''

Number One was first to go, he was first to jump. His chute never opened so he didn't feel the bump.

Singing whull dae it this time. Wha' dae it noo Yinna did it last time, canna dae it noo.

The next man to jump, he was Number Two;
He saw what happened to Number One and now he's RTU.
Singing whull, etc.

Number Three was next to go, he didn't bend his knee -He fractured both his thighs and he's Category E,
Singing whull, etc.

The next man to go, he was Number Four,
He didn't hook up his static line before he left the door.
Singing whull, etc.

After him the next man, he was Number Five,
His parachute opened so he reached the ground alive.
Singing whull, etc.

Number Six was next to go, he didn't do so well;
He fell out of his harness and he went right down to hell.

Singing whull, etc.

The next man to go, he was Number Seven;
He came down on his head and he went right up to heaven.
Singing whull, etc.

The next man to go, he was Number Eight;
His parachute developed, but opened much too late.
Singing whull, etc.

The next man to go, he was Number Nine;
His legs and arms got tangled up in his rigging line.
Singing whull, etc.

The last man to jump, he was Number Ten;
He had a Roman candle so he'll never jump again.
Singing whull, etc.


С уважением, ВЛАДИМИР

RTU - это replacement training unit? То есть бойца отправили на переподготовку? Вот это нервы :)

Салют!
Я не очень знаю эти реалии: "RTU", "Category E" и т.п. Кто-либо пояснит?
