The commander of the C-141 was in a hurry to fly out of the U.S. air base in Thule, Greenland.  But everything was working against him.  The truck to pump the sewage from the plane was late, and then the airman pumping out the tank was taking his time.  The commander berated the lowly airman, threatening to have him punished.   Turning to the officer, the airman said, “I have no stripes, it’s 40 degrees below zero, I’m stationed in Thule, and I’m pumping sewage out of airplanes.  Just how do you plan on punishing me?”

That ain't no joke right there.

I went to Adak Alaska once.  Luckily it was summer. 

But HOLY cow... they gave promotions to winter over in Adak.
