English Original
My youngest brother, Tony, had just completed basic training and was home on leave before his first deployment to Germany. As an Army National Guard pilot with my other brother as my crew chief, we offered to fly Tony to catch his overseas transport.
When we landed at the Air Force base, several of Tony's fellow privates came out to greet him. Tony ran ahead, while my brother and I followed with his gear. As Tony approached his buddies, he was bewildered by their dumbfounded stares.
Finally, he realized his friends weren't seeing his two brothers giving him a ride. They were seeing a new private arrive in his own helicopter — with his captain and sergeant carrying his bags!
中文翻译
我最小的弟弟托尼刚完成基础训练，在首次派驻德国前休假回家。我是一名陆军国民警卫队飞行员，我的另一个弟弟是我的机组长，我们主动提出用直升机送托尼去搭乘海外运输机。
我们在空军基地降落时，托尼的几个列兵战友出来迎接他。托尼跑在前面，我和弟弟则提着他的装备跟在后面。当托尼跑向他的伙伴时，他们目瞪口呆的神情让他困惑不已。
最后他才明白，他的朋友们看到的不是他的两个哥哥在送他，而是看到一个新兵乘着自己的直升机抵达——由他的上尉和军士长替他提着行李！
