Meta Multitasking: USMC Style

Written by Bryce

There’s a chance you’re sitting at your desk right filing documents or answering emails. Or both. You’re likely annoyed you’re multitasking, and all you want is a snack. It’s not that bad though, unless you’re a stay at home mom, a drug dealer, or a US marine.

Multitasking just doesn’t reach meta levels until you pull off this USMC maneuver:

“The United States Marine Corps has a long tradition of fighting anyone anywhere with limited logistical support. Marines improvise. This tradition of ingenuity is aptly demonstrated in a training exercise at an aviation base in Yuma, Arizona. In the above photo, a CH-53E Super Stallion heavy lift helicopter carries an entire HMMWV in slings. The Super Stallion is thirsty, so it takes a drink from the KC-130T Hercules tanker.”

Get back to your emails with a smile now, because you didn’t have to literally fly and refuel enormous machines simultaneously. Unless of course you’re a stay at home mom, because that definitely requires a similar level of meta multitasking to get stuff done while also keeping other humans alive.
