Green Rating to NutLoose for:

Parking brake set to On, Shut down checks complete Skip.

But today's Master Green goes to Buster Hyman with:

From Kings Regulations (2030). Army policy is that scare tactics must be used, due cutbacks we have nothing else left.

"Sir! Private Parts can't get his end up!"

"Is this what the Royal Tank Regiment is now reduced to, Major?"

"It's worse than that Colonel...The air pump's u/s"

"... and when out of ammo or other options, adopt this formation around the tank and attempt to lift it up. Naturally you won't have a snowball's chance in Hell, but it'll give you something to do in the five seconds or so you have prior to meeting a horrible death."
