I am the IG, complaints come to me.
I am the MEDIC, I bandage skinned knees.
I am the JAG and COURT MARTIALS, too.
I decide justice; how much and for who.
I must be SAFETY, inspecting for junk.
I am the FIRST SHIRT, checking the bunk.
I am SUPPLY, keeping track of the food.
Clothing and toys, no matter the mood.
I am the SP, securing the door.
I am the AIRMAN who mans the floor
I am SERVICES, cooking the meals.
I am TRANS, in charge of all wheels.
I’m MWR, planning the fun.
I am the BUGLER when Duty is done.
I am the CQ and Fireman, too.
There isn't much that I don't do.
I am INSTRUCTOR. My courses are free.
And all that is learned is taught by me.
I am FLIGHT LEADER. I know my Troops well.
Sometimes I’m the T.I. who really can yell.
I’m both E9 and 010 for, you see,
All of the paperwork must come through me.
I don’t go to combat though battles I face,
For when he deploys I keep guard at the Base
It’s fine that my LES says NO PAY DUE
I’ll gladly take pay in the words, I love you.
I'll never take leave. I’ll be always on call.
