Ragging on the Chair Force
(Category:
Jokin Around
)
The various branches of the armed forces rag on each other incessantly. It's generally done in good humor and taken well by the target. At the root of things anybody serving has a decent respect for other folks who are serving.
We pretty much ignore the Coast Guard. I guess that's because picking on the Coast Guard would be too much like kicking a puppy. As a Navy man I've spent years casting aspersions on the grunts and the jarheads but my favorite target has been the Air Farce, mostly because my Dad was a Sergeant in the USAF and picking on Dad is always good fun.
With all that in mind, here's a little treasure sent to me by Lovely Wife:

That was funny.
You'll (maybe) appreciate what Gen. Clay (USAF) once said to a young officer briefing him on the Soviets:
"Son, stop referring to the Soviets as the enemy. They are our adversary. The Navy is the enemy."
I love that.
This is great. My dad was retired AF and I still keep in touch with some of his old buddies. They are going to love this. As well as the rest of the family (which is Navy and Marines).
Oooh. I wonder if KoolAid has seen this.
Obviously NOT.
ROFL!
Why can't the Navy people spell? (see Officer Rank)
And aren't the navy guys named Mark, Rick, or Steve? (See Steel Magnolias)
Crap. The inherent weakness of MS spellcheck rears its ugly head once more. Damn homonyms!
