Just a joke for service veterans to brighten you day.

The rain had stopped and there was a big puddle in front of the bar just outside the American Legion Post. A rumpled old Navy Chief was standing near the edge with a fishing line in the puddle.


A curious young Air Force pilot came over to him and asked what he was doing.

"Fishing," the old Master Chief simply said.

"Poor old chief," the Air Force officer thought to himself, and invited the old Navy Chief into the bar for a drink.  As he felt he should start a conversation while they were sipping their spirits, the young jet pilot winked at another pilot and asked the Chief, "How many have you caught today?"

"You're number 14," the old Chief answered, taking another sip from his double shot of 12 year old Scotch, "9 Air Force, 3 Navy and 2 Marines.”

I always found this old one amusing:


How to Tell the Difference Between the Branches of the US Armed Forces!

If you give the command "SECURE THE BUILDING", here is what the different services would do:

The NAVY would turn out the lights and lock the doors.

The ARMY would surround the building with defensive fortifications, tanks and concertina wire.

The MARINE CORPS would assault the building, using overlapping fields of fire from all appropriate points on the perimeter.

The AIR FORCE would take out a three-year lease with an option to buy the building.

  It is said that if you wanted something done you went
over the Admirals head directly to the closest Master Chief.
