General: I didn't see you at camouflage practice today!
Soldier: Thank you, sir!
One of the greatest compliments I ever got was from a Drill Sergeant at the end of basic training after we lost a dozen asshole recruits for half a dozen asshole reasons over the course of it.

To which I simply replied "Thank you Drill Sergeant!"
