You might try a lighter approach along the lines of some pertinent advice

1. Remember son, a volunteer is the one guy in the squad who misunderstood the question.

2. When they ask for a volunteer, take one step back. All the others willbe dong the same.

3. Remember the General stands behind the troops, about 35 miles behind. Try to get a job as the General's clerk.

4. Keep your head down, and come home in one piece.
