A young 2nd Lieutenant had just arrived at Camp Bastion.
He'd been given a beautiful new office (Portacabin) and had it all to himself.
Sitting there, he saw a sergeant come towards the office door.
Wishing to appear the hot shot, the officer picked up the phone and started to pretend he was exchanging chit chat with the Base Commander.
He threw Colonel's and General's names around and talked about letting them stay in his Daddy's Estate in Hampshire, and then set up a head Sheds meeting between him, the Base Commander, and the CO's of the base security sections
Finally he hung up and asked the Sergeant, "Can I help you sergeant?"
The Sergeant replied, "Yes sir, I'm here to activate your phone lines."
