Just for fun. Call them out. Everyone thinks their branch is the best. (Unless your Navy that's not true) funny stories about why you witnessed the other branches do.

We were at Camp Scania in Iraq. Some Guardsman asked my Senior Choef what the Navy was doing there.

Senior responded that we got a battleship stuck in the Euphrates and we were sent over to dig it out.

What a shame how Air Force refers to its barracks as DORMS. Are they like always in school or something??

I always loved staying in quarters at AF Bases. As a Master Chief I was assigned to VIP Quarters and I do Mean VIP! I have stayed in Navy, Army, and Marine Quarters and the might as well all be open bay compared to the Suites the AF put me up in. I will say that you do know how to treat your visitors correctly, but that again, they always seem surprised that I have 4 stars on my Collars. LOL

CDR Thomas Gatliffe Those are Recon Jump wings on the top, as well as EOD crab. What is more interesting to me is this is a MGySgt who shows Recon, Seal and EOD but has not had much theater time except for the Arctic and kuwait yet has 2 Navy Crosses as well as a Silver Star, May have to call BS on this one.

LOL, we heard a few similar comments during Admin class at TBS and the following were actually taken from fitness reports submitted by reporting seniors... or so we were told. Among them:

"This Lieutenant could not lead a platoon out of a burning house."
"In time of combat, I desire this Marine as a parapet."
"This officer will be the first casualty inflicted by his troops."
"Serves as an example to others of what not to emulate."
"Other than his inability to read, speak or write, this Marine would make a fine leader."

Ive heard those Army folks signing GI soap and GI gravy Gee I wished I joined the Navy. And you know they can't be Marines. "To observe a Marine, is inspirational. To be a Marine, is exceptional." And that kind of leaves the Army out!

A Taliban Army Platoon was on patrol when the
commander noticed a lone Marine standing on a hilltop
above their location. The commander told two of his
soldiers to go take out the Marine, so they dropped
their packs and promptly ran as fast as they could
toward the Marine. Just before they got to the
top, the Marine ran over the other side of the hill.
The two soldiers followed.

For the next few moments there were bloody screams
and dust flying in the air. Then as quickly as it had
started, it stopped and the Marine appeared back on
the hilltop. He brushed off his cammies, straightened
his cover, crossed his arms and stood there looking
down at the Taliban soldiers.

The infuriated commander called for a squad to go
get the Marine. They promptly ran as fast as they
could toward him. Just before they got to the
top, the Marine ran over the other side of the hill.
The squad followed, and for the next few minutes there
were bloody screams and dust flying in the air. When
it stopped, the Marine again returned to the hilltop.
He brushed off his cammies, straightened his cover,
crossed his arms and stood there looking down at the
remaining Taliban soldiers.

The commander was really hot now. He ordered the
rest of his platoon to attack the Marine. Determined
that Taliban soldiers were far superior to one
lone Marine, they had blood in their eyes as they
ran up the hill. Just before they got to the top, the
Marine ran over the other side of the hill.
The blood-thirsty soldiers followed. For many
minutes there were horrific screams and clouds of dust
flying in the air. It continued and continued.

When it finally stopped, one lone soldier came
crawling back to the commander, all bloody and beat
about the head and shoulders. His uniform was
torn, cuts were all over his body. The commander
demanded a report. The lone soldier, trying to catch
his breath, replied in a forceful yet trembling
voice, "Sir, run... it was a trick. There are TWO
of them!!"
