The chief of staff of the US Air Force decided that he would personally intervene in the recruiting crisis affecting all of our armed services.
He directed a nearby Air Force base that will be opened and that all eligible young men and women be invited.
As he and his staff were standing near a brand new F-15 Fighter, a pair of twin brothers who looked like they had just stepped off a Marine Corps recruiting poster walked up to them.
The chief of staff walked up to them, stuck out his hand and introduced himself.
He looked at the first young man and asked, "Son, what skills can you bring to the Air Force?"
The young man looks at him and says, "I’m a pilot!"
The general gets all excited, turns to his aide and says, "Get him in today, all the paper work done, everything, do it!"
The aide hustles the young man off. The general looks at the second young man and asked, "What skills to you bring to the Air Force?"
The young man says, "I chop wood!"
"Son," the general replies, "we don’t need wood choppers in the Air Force, what do you know how to do?"
"I chop wood!"
"Young man," huffs the general, "you are not listening to me, we don’t need wood choppers, this is the 20th century!"
"Well," the young man says, "you hired my brother!"
"Of course we did," says the general, "he’s a pilot!"
The young man rolls his eyes and says, "So what! I have to chop it before he can pile it!"
Having just moved into his new office, a pompous, new colonel was
sitting at his desk when an airman knocked on the door.
Conscious of his new position, the colonel quickly picked up the phone,
told the airman to enter, then said into the phone,
"Yes, General, I'll be seeing him this afternoon and I'll pass along your message.
In the meantime, thank you for your good wishes, sir."
Feeling as though he had sufficiently impressed the young enlisted man,
he asked, "What do you want?"
"Nothing important, sir," the airman replied: "I'm just here to hook up your telephone."
On some air bases the Air Force is on one side of the field
and civilian aircraft use the other side of the field, with the control tower in the middle.
One day the tower received a call from an aircraft asking, "What time is it?"
The tower responded, "Who is calling?"
The aircraft replied: "What difference does it make?"
The tower replied "It makes a lot of difference.
If it is an American Airlines flight, it is 3 o'clock.
If it is an Air Force plane, it is 1500 hours.
If it is a Navy aircraft, it is 6 bells.
If it is an Army aircraft, the big hand is on the 12 and the little hand
is on the 3.
If it is a Marine Corps aircraft, it's Thursday afternoon and 120
minutes to "Happy Hour."
The soldier serving in Hong Kong was annoyed and upset when his girl wrote breaking off their engagement and asking for her photograph back.
He went out and collected from his friends all the unwanted photographs of women that he could find,
bundled them all together and sent them back with a note saying, "I regret to inform you that I cannot remember which one is you — please keep your photo and return the others."
A US cruiser was patrolling when the captain received a radio message, something like:
"Hey could you change your route please? You're going straight to bump into me"
The US replied "no, YOU change your route".
And that "not me, you" discussion lasted for a while when finally, the US captain started to threaten the other guy saying he was commanding a powerful warship. Then he heard the following reply:
"I cannot change my route coz I'm in a lighthouse!"...
The General went out to find that none of his G.I.s were there. One finally ran up, panting heavily.
"Sorry, sir! I can explain, you see I had a date and it ran a little late. I ran to the bus but missed it,
I hailed a cab but it broke down, found a farm, bought a horse but it dropped dead, ran 10 miles, and now I’m here."
The General was very skeptical about this explanation but at least he was here so he let the G.I. go. Moments later,
eight more G.I.s came up to the general panting, he asked them why they were late.
"Sorry, sir! I had a date and it ran a little late, I ran to the bus but missed it,
I hailed a cab but it broke down, found a farm, bought a horse but it dropped dead, ran 10 miles, and now I’m here."
The General eyed them, feeling very skeptical but since he let the first guy go, he let them go, too. A ninth G.I. jogged up to the General, panting heavily.
"Sorry, sir! I had a date and it ran a little late, I ran to the bus but missed it, I hailed a cab but…"
"Let me guess," the General interrupted, "it broke down."
"No," said the G.I., "there were so many dead horses in the road, it took forever to get around them."
The Captain called the Sergeant in.
"Sarge, I just got a telegram that Private Jones’ mother died yesterday.
Better go tell him and send him in to see me."
So the Sergeant calls for his morning formation and lines up all the troops.
"Listen up, men," says the Sergeant. "Johnson, report to the mess hall for KP.
Smith, report to Personnel to sign some papers. The rest of you men report to the Motor Pool for maintenance.
Oh by the way, Jones, your mother died, report to the commander."
Later that day the Captain called the Sergeant into his office.
"Hey, Sarge, that was a pretty cold way to inform Jones his mother died
Couldn’t you be a bit more tactful, next time?"
"Yes, sir," answered the Sarge.
A few months later, the Captain called the Sergeant in again with, "Sarge, I just got a telegram that Private McGrath’s mother died.
You’d better go tell him and send him in to see me. This time be more tactful."
Two good ol’ boys, Jimmy and Babba get promoted from Privates to Sergeants.
Not long after, they’re out for a walk and Jimmy says, "Hey, Babba - there’s the NCO Club.
Let’s you and me stop in and have us a drank."
"But we’s privates," protests Babba.
"NO, we’s sergeants now," says Jimmy, pulling him inside
"Now, Babba, I’m gonna sit down and have me a drank."
"But, we’s privates," says Babba.
"You blind, boy!" says Jimmy, pointing at his stripes.
"We’s Sergeants now!"
So they order their drinks and pretty soon a hooker comes up to Jimmy.
"You’re cute," she says, "and I’d like to take you someplace and make you feel good — but I’ve got a bad case of gonorrhea."
Jimmy pulls his friend to the side and whispers, "Babba, go look in the dictionary and see what that gonorrhea means.
If it’s good, give me the okay sign."
Babba goes to look it up, comes back, and gives Jimmy the big okay sign.
Three weeks later Jimmy is laid up in the infirmary with a terrible case of gonorrhea.
"Babba," he says, "What you give me the okay for?!"
"Well Jimmy, in the dictionary, it says gonorrhea only affects the privates."
Then he pointed to his stripes and says, "But we’s Sergeants now!
As we stood in formation at the Pensacola Naval Air Station, our Flight Instructor said:
"All right! All you dummies fall out."
As the rest of the squad wandered away, I remained at attention.
The instructor walked over until he was eye-to-eye with me, and then just raised a single eyebrow.
I smiled and said: "Sure was a lot of ‘em, huh sir?"
