Got this email from my Army daughter. Looked like some equal-opportunity ribbing...

The Air Force one looks accurate as best as I can remember.

[GSWarrior]

The Marine Corps is actually a department of the Navy---the men's department.

[CholeraJoe]

Me, too, CG.

In my case it would be Service Oaf.

They left out the part about being able to order eggs anyway you wanted them in the chow hall because they were real eggs.

[The KG9 Kid]

I remember something along these lines. Semper Fi.

Remember this SAC Credo which was probably used in every branch?


"We the unknowing. Led by the uncaring. Have done so much, for so long, with so little. That we are now prepared to do it all with absolutely nothing, at all."

Several friends of mine were members of the Marine Corps Rescue Division, 1st Cav, pay back for Korea.

One of my friends recently joined the Army. As we were discussing what the requirements for joining various branches of the Armed Forces were, he suggested that I enlist.

I asked him which branch I should enlist in, and he told me, quite frankly, the Air Force. "Their boot camp is pretty weak."

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

I went through Army basic and AIT when I was 17. No way would I survive it today, 17 years later. Air Force I would take a shot at.

Remember it well!

[I got the rope]

A young boy and his family were waiting out a long lay-over at a busy airport. The boy noticed a spit and polish Marine in his dress uniform. The youngster walked over to the Marine, and overwhelmed by the impressive figure, expressed his admiration, "Wow!!!" was about all the kid could utter, as he stood staring at the Marine. The Marine felt a sense of pride at the kid's admiration, and grabbing his snow white saucer cap with the highly polished bill, said, "Here kid, why don't you try this on..."


The youngster donned the cap, and although it was too big for his head, began to cockily strut up and down the concourse at the airport, wearing it. The kid strayed into a men's room where he saw a Ranger standing at the urinal. Decked out with his black beret, blue infantry cord, CIB, combat patch, and stack of ribbons and badges. The kid walked up to the Ranger, and as just with the Marine, was overtaken by admiration..."Wow!!!!" marveled the youth.


"Blow me, kid," stated the mannerless Ranger.


"Oh no sir, it's not like that," said the kid, "I just borrowed the hat!"

"Their boot camp is pretty weak."

Whaddya expect? They're training wrench turners and jet jockeys. If you volunteer for one of the physical jobs like Force Protection or Pararescue, they'll train you up in tech school.
