 There are certain phrases military service members hear on the regular, and by regular, we mean they are over-used like crazy.

The WATM team put its collective heads together and came up with this list of the cliche phrases we’ve heard way too many times in the military.

Usually uttered by a staff NCO at the moment of a 20-mile hike where you wish you could just pass out on the side of the road.
2. "If you're on time, you're late."  Military members are well aware of the unwritten rule of arriving 15 minutes prior to the time they are supposed to be somewhere. Of course, if there’s a senior officer involved, that might even mean 15 minutes prior to 15 minutes prior.
3. "We get more done before 6 a.m. than most people do all day."  The time can always be changed, but the phrase remains the same.
