Differences In The Military

[Thordic]

Not a lot of work loading bombs in the civilian market, Ed?

I'm sure you could make tons of money if you just weren't picky about who you worked for :)

[edweird]

damn them personal ethics... damn them to hell! ...um type place ah! Arizona! .... uh damn.

When I was at Annapolis a few years back, all the Mids were making fun of the AF for the first name thing. :)

Carl? Oh Caaaaarrrrlllll!!

[edweird]

all the Mids

sorry but the credibility of the still acidently truthful statement was compleatly lost when you even considered the opinion of trainee wannabe officers as being worth a damn...

as with the army, the most dangerous thing in the airforce is still a 2nd Lt... however ours is not holding a compass but rather the ones who think they can "help" troubleshoot aircraft from his office inside or via telephone on the couch at home.

the most dangerous thing is still a 2nd Lt...

And the most valuable is a chief/seargent. :)

Theres also that whole "seamen clogging the p-way to the head" thing going against them.

I'm kind of surprised that this one hasn't been posted yet. An oldie but a goodie:

OATH OF ENLISTMENT-Service by Service

US AIR FORCE OATH OF ENLISTMENT
I, Zoomie, swear to sign away four years of my useless life to the United States Air Force
because I know I couldn't hack it in the Army and because the Marines frighten me. I swear
to sit behind a desk and take credit for the work done by others more dedicated than me who
take their job seriously.

I also swear not to do any form of real exercise, but promise to defend our bike-riding test as
a valid form of exercise. I swear to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States,
even though I believe myself to be above that.

I promise to walk around calling everyone by their first name because I know I'm not really
in the military and I find it amusing to annoy the other services. I will have a better quality
of life than all those around me and will at all times be sure to make them aware of that fact.

After completion of my-snicker-"basic training," I will be a lean, mean, doughnut-eating,
lazy-boy sitting, civilian-wearing-blue-clothes, Chairborne Ranger. I will believe that I am
superior to all others, and will make an effort to clean the knife before stabbing the next
person in the back with it.

I will do no work unless someone is watching me (and it makes me look good), will annoy
those around me, and will go home early every day.

I consent to never getting promoted-EVER-and understand that all those whom I made fun of
yesterday probably will outrank me tomorrow.

So help me God.

US ARMY OATH OF ENLISTMENT
I, Rambo, swear to sign away four years of my mediocre life to the United States Army
because I couldn't score high enough on the ASVAB to get into the Air Force, I'm not tough
enough for the Marines, and the Navy won't take me because I can't swim.

I will wear camouflage every day and tuck my trousers into my boots because I can't figure
out how to use blousing straps. I promise to wear my uniform 24 hours a day even when I
have a date. I will continue telling myself that I am a fierce killing machine because my drill
sergeant told me I am, despite the fact that the only action I ever will see is a court martial
for sexual harassment.

I acknowledge the fact that I will make E-8 in my first year of service, and vow to maintain
that it is because I scored perfect on my PT test. After completion of my sexual-er-I mean,
BASIC training, I will attend a different Army school once every other month and return
knowing less than I did when I left.

On my first trip home after boot camp, I will walk around like I am cool and propose to my
ninth-grade sweetheart. I will make my wife stay home, because if I let her out she might
leave me for a smarter, better-looking Air Force guy. Should she leave me twelve times,
I will continue to take her back.

While at work, I will maintain a look of knowledge while getting absolutely nothing
accomplished. I will arrive at work every day at 1000 hours because of morning PT and
leave every day at 1300 hours to report back to the "COMPANY."

I understand that I will undergo no training whatsoever that will help me get a job upon
separation, and will end up working construction with my friends from high school.

I will brag to everyone about the Army giving me $30,000 for college, but will be unable to
use it because I can't pass a placement exam.

So help me God.

US NAVY OATH OF ALLEGIANCE
I, Top Gun, in lieu of going to prison, swear to sign away four years of my life to the United
States Navy because I want to hang out with Marines without actually having to BE one of
them, because I thought the Air Force was too "corporate," and because I thought, "Hey,
I like to swim...Why not?"

I promise to wear clothing that went out of style in 1976 and to have my name stenciled on
the butt of every pair of pants I own. I understand that I will be mistaken for the Good
Humor man during the summer, and for the Waffen SS during the winter.

I will strive to use a different language than the rest of the English-speaking world, using
words like "deck, bulkhead, cover, and head," when I really mean "floor, wall, hat, and toilet."

I will take great pride in the fact that all Navy acronyms, ranks and insignia, and everything
else for that matter, are completely different from the other services and make absolutely no
sense whatsoever.

I will muster (whatever that is) at 0700 every morning unless I am buddy-buddy with the
Chief, in which case I will show up around 0930. I vow to hone my coffee cup handling
skills to the point that I can stand up in a kayak being tossed around in a typhoon and still
not spill a drop.

I consent to being promoted and subsequently busted at least twice each fiscal year. I realize
that, once selected for Chief, I am required to submit myself to the sick, and quite possibly illegal,
whims of my new-found "colleagues."


So help me Neptune.
