During training exercises, the lieutenant driving down a muddy back road encountered another car stuck in the mud with a red faced colonel at the wheel.
“Your jeep stuck, sir?” asked the lieutenant as he pulled alongside.
“Nope,” replied the colonel, coming over and handing him the keys, “Yours is.”
A Navy Chief and an Admiral were sitting in the barbershop.
They were both just getting finished with their shaves – the barbers were reaching for some after-shave to slap on their faces.
The admiral shouted, “Hey, don’t put mess on me! My wife will think I’ve been in a whorehouse!”
The chief turned to his barber and said, “Go ahead and put it on. My wife doesn’t know what a whorehouse smells like.”

The General went to the doctor for a physical. Before he began, the doctor asked him the standard questions – age, height, weight and then he asked when was the last time the General had sex.
“Oh”, he mused, “It was 1955.”
“Isn’t that a long time to go without sex?” the doctor asked.
“I don’t think so. According to your clock, it’s only 2113.”
A tourist walked into a pet shop and was looking at the animals on display.
While he was there, a platoon sergeant walked in and said to the shopkeeper, “I’ll have a PFC monkey please.” The shopkeeper nodded, went over to a cage at the side of the shop and took out a monkey. He fit a collar and leash, handed it to the customer, saying, “That’ll be $1000.” The platoon sergeant paid and walked out with his monkey. Startled, the tourist went over to the shopkeeper and said, “That was a very expensive monkey. Most of them are only a few hundred dollars. Why did it cost so much?”
The shopkeeper answered, “Ah, that monkey can fire expert with small arms, score 300 on the APFT, and perform Drill & Ceremony and Small Unit Tactics with no mistakes, well worth the money.”
The tourist looked at the monkey in another cage. “That one’s even more expensive! $10,000! What does it do?”
“Oh, that one’s an NCO monkey; it can instruct BRM, CTT, PT, D&C and SUT, and even do some paperwork. All the really useful stuff,” said the shopkeeper. The tourist looked around for a little longer and saw a third monkey in a cage of its own. The price tag around its neck read $50,000.
He gasped to the shopkeeper, “That one costs more than all the others put together! What on earth does it do?” The shopkeeper replied, “Well, I haven’t actually SEEN it do ANYTHING, but it says it’s a Colonel.”
A C-141 was preparing for departure from Thule Greenland, and they were waiting for the truck to arrive to pump out the aircraft’s sewage holding tank. The Aircraft Commander was in a hurry, but the truck was late in arriving, and the Airman performing the job was extremely slow in getting the tank pumped out.
When the Aircraft Commander berated the Airman for his lack of speed and threatened him with punishment, the Airman responded: “Sir, I have no stripes, it is 20 below zero, I am stationed in Thule, Greenland, and I am pumping shit out of airplanes. Just what are you planning to do to punish me?”
Marching in the cold rain, the drill sergeant tells his soldiers, this is good sh*t..
Marines marching 20 miles in the cold rain, “This is great sh*t!!”
Navy SEALS crawling through cold swamps for 20 miles: “I love this sh*t!”
Airborne Rangers crawling through cold swamps infested with snakes and gators: “I live for this sh*t!”
Air force pilot, in his carpeted room, cable TV, after a 2 hour mission in his F-16, Fridge humming, full of cold beer,
and the AC goes out: “What kind of sh*t is this?”
What is the difference between a fairy tale and a war story?
A fairly tale begins with “once upon a time” and a war story begins with “and this is no $hit”.
Divert Your Course
This is the actual radio conversation of a US naval ship with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October 1995. Radio conversation released by the chief of naval operations, 10-10-95.
CANADIANS: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision.
AMERICANS: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the north to avoid a collision.
CANADIANS: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision.
AMERICANS: This is the captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.
CANADIANS: No, I say again, you divert YOUR course.
AMERICANS: This is the Aircraft Carrier US LINCOLN, the second largest ship in the United States Atlantic Fleet. We are accompanied with three Destroyers, three Cruisers and numerous support vessels. I DEMAND that you change your course 15 degrees north. I say again, that’s one-five degrees north, or counter-measures will be undertaken to ensure the safety of this ship.
CANADIANS: This is a lighthouse. Your call.

Two airmen were driving across country on leave. They come to a Marine Corps base and decide to visit. They approach the gate and the Marine Guard walks up to the driver’s window, and taps on it with his nighstick.
The driver rolls down the window, and the Marine smacks him in the head with the stick. The driver says, “Why’d you do that?
The Marine says, “You’re on a United States Marine Corps Base, son. When I come up to your car, you’ll have your ID card ready.”
Driver says, “I’m sorry, We’re in the Air Force, and we didn’t know.”
The Marine examines the I.D. card and gives it back to the driver.
The Marine walks around to the passenger side and taps on the window. The passenger rolls his window down, and the Marine smacks him with the nightstick.
The passenger says, “What’d you do that for?”
The Marine says,”Just making your wishes come true.”
The passenger says, “Huh?”
The Marine says, “I know that as soon as you pull away you’re gonna say, ‘I wish that sucker would’ve tried that stuff with me!'”
