"Pops, Your Ink Is Fading" — Recruits Mocked the Old Man Until the Sergeant Major Rolled His Sleeve

A group of cocky new recruits notice the faded tattoo on the forearm of the quiet older man standing at the front of their formation and start ribbing him — "Pops, your ink's fading, time to retire." They don't yet know he's their new instructor. They find out exactly who he is when the base Sergeant Major walks over, comes to attention in front of him, and rolls up his own sleeve to reveal the identical tattoo — the mark of a unit only a handful of living men ever earned the right to wear.
