Military Jokes & Humor

Camouflage Uniform Wear Policies


MARINES: Work uniform, to be worn only during training and in field situations.

ARMY: Will wear it anytime, anywhere.

NAVY: Will not wear camouflage uniforms, they do not camouflage you on a ship.
(Ship Captains will make every effort to attempt to explain this to sailors.)

AIR FORCE: Will defeat the purpose of camouflage uniforms by putting blue and silver chevrons
and colorful squadron patches all over them.

An Army General, a Marine General and a Navy Admiral are all sitting around discussing whose's service is better and whose troops are the bravest?
The Admiral (well into his second or third ice tea) announces to the group, " My SEALS are the BEST in the world and to prove it I'll have one do the impossiple" as he raeches for the phone.
Well the other two commanders are in an uproar and each one promply calls for his best soldier.
When all three representives have arrived, the Admiral states "Since it was my idea, I'm first" and turning to the SEAL, he says " I want you to go down that cliff, swim across those 10 miles of shark infested waters, climb up that shear cliff and return with with 2 bird eggs... unbroken of course.".
The SEAL (being the highly trained soldier that he is) turned runnig towards the cliff. After performing a triple-linddy into the water, the SEAL swam across the 10 miles (all the while beating off sharks with his bare hands) and reaching the far cliff, he began climbing. Near the top of the cliff, he grabs the two eggs and starts back down (all the time, fighting off mean birds). Upon reaching the sea he swims back across (once again fighting off sharks) and climbs back up the first cliff. He then runs back over to the Admiral and hands him the 2 unbroken eggs.
The Marine General says "that wasn't nothing," and turning to the Force Recon Marine he says " I want you to go down that cliff, swim across those waters, climb that other cliff,then move across the 4 miles of unmapped jungle and bring me back 2 eggs from the mountain on the other side of the jungle."
And with that the Force Recon moved-out. Traveling down the cliff, swimming across the sea, climbing the far cliff, moving through the jungle and upon reaching the 2 eggs, he heads back (all the while fighting off lions, tigers, bears, sharks, and mean birds). Finally reaching the General, the Marine hands him the eggs.
The Army General then says "Very nice gentlemen, but heres true bravery" and turning towards his BEST (an Airborne Infantryman), he says "I want you to go down that cliff, across that sea, up the far cliff, thru the 4 miles of unmapped jungle, over the mountain and bring me back 2 eggs from the forest on the other side."

The Paratrooper looks at the General, then the cliff, and again back to the General, where he says "SCREW YOU SIR!", renders a proper hand salute and walks away.


The General turn towards the other two (both with their jaws on the table) and says
"Now gentlemen, thats BRAVERY."

I just bought this poster at a flea market. It hung in a 3 star admirals office until recently. He died a few months ago & the couple I bought it from had purchased alot of his belongings at an estate sale. Unfortunately, they could not remember his name.

Sneaking in cause it's not breaktime yet, but some Alaska stuff. Looking out the office window is a large office building with lots of open grassy area. At this very moment, 2 bull moose are at each other with their antlers. Back and forth, back and forth. Running around and then back to bumping heads. Traffic it pulled over to the side of the road on two sides of the open area and just sitting and watching. Oops, now they have decided they want to cross the street. Traffic has stopped to wait to see what they are going to do. They got half way across the street, but turned back and are crossing the side street and walking down the street. OK, now they've crossed a fence and are in someone's backyard. OK, back to work, I can't see them anymore.

I hate you I hate you I hate you!!!!!!!!!

First, I don't have windows. (Don't ask, I'd have to kill you!) Second, if I did have windows, I wouldn't see any bull moose. And third, just on GP's, it isn't fair that you get to see that and I don't!

Ok, got that out of my system...any snow yet?

Sounds like a beautiful day up north Kathy! Okay since it's military jokes day...here goes.

An Army grunt stands in the rain with a 35-pound pack on his back, weapon in his hand, after having marched 12 miles, and says, "This is sh*t!"

An Army Airborne Ranger stands in the rain with a 45 lb. pack on his back, weapon in hand, after having jumped from an airplane and marched 18 miles, and says with a smile, "This is good sh*t!"

A Navy SEAL lies in the mud, 55 LB pack on his back, weapon in hand, after swimming 10 miles to shore, crawling through a swamp and marching 25 miles at night past the enemy positions, says with a grin, "This really is great sh*t."

A Marine, up to his nose in the stinking, bug infested mud of a swamp with a 65 LB pack on his back and a weapon in both hands after jumping from an aircraft at high altitude, into the ocean, swimming 12 miles to the shore, killing several alligators to enter the swamp, then crawling 30 miles through the brush to assault an enemy camp, says, "I love this sh*t." (Trouble with the Game Warden, Fed's, and environmentalist - Gaters are on endangered list. Marine doesn't give a sh*t!)

The Air Force NCO sits in an easy chair in an air-conditioned office, and says, "My e-mail's out? What kind of sh*t is this?"

We see a rare bull in our neighborhood, but not usually this far into town. And to see 2 is something else.

True story:

My Marine squadron spent some morale fund money to buy lumber, with the intent of building ourselves a deck next to our hangar for barbecues and that sort of thing.

However, when the lumber arrived, the Seabees waltzed right in and stole it! I was tasked with leading a mission to recover the goods.

We infiltrated the Seabee compound and located our lumber. Quickly, we began loading the truck. We were almost done when one of my flank scouts gave me the alert signal--someone approaching.

I thought quickly, and then ordered my Marines to start unloading the truck.

A SeaBee chief strolls up, looks at me, and asks, "Just what in the HELL do you idiots think you're doing?"

"Just unloading this here lumber, Chief."

"Not here, you don't! Get it gone NOW!"

"OK, Marines, you heard him--load it back up." The Marine comply with the appropriate amount of grousing and complaining about how certain somebodies (me) should find out where the lumber goes BEFORE unloading the truck.

Satisfied that he'd put a Marine in his place, the chief then left.

Inspection time at Ft. Jackson:

How'd you learn to get a rifle so clean, son?

My uncle taught me, sir.

Was your uncle in the Army?

No, sir - He was a MARINE!

Severa! Enough with the colds. I can only imagine how tired you are of being "sick". Saying a prayer that the surgery will put an end to your sinus problems. Please thank Hostel for his service to our country, and thanks to you as a Navy wife. The boys look adorable (maybe I shouldn't say that about boys), maybe "manly" would be better, in their firefighter outfits. Thanks Grandma.

Hi JJ... Hi Robbie
