Cleared for Takeoff
On some air bases the Air Force is on one side of the field and civilian
aircraft use the other side of the field, with the control tower in the
middle.
One day the tower received a call from an aircraft asking, "What time is
it?"
The tower responded, "Who is calling?" The aircraft replied, "What
difference does it make?" The tower replied "It makes a lot of difference.
If it is an American Airlines flight, it is 3 o'clock. If it is an Air Force
plane, it is 1500 hours. If it is a Navy aircraft, it is 6 bells. If it is
an Army aircraft, the big hand is on the 12 and the little hand is on the 3.
If it is a Marine Corps aircraft, it's Thursday afternoon and 120 minutes to
"Happy Hour."

During training exercises, the lieutenant who was 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."

Having just moved into his new office, a pompous, new colonel was
sitting at his desk when an airman knocked on the door. Conscious of his new
position, the colonel quickly picked up the phone, told the airman to enter,
then said into the phone, "Yes, General, I'll be seeing him this afternoon
and I'll pass along your message. In the meantime, thank you for your good
wishes, sir." Feeling as though he had sufficiently impressed the young
enlisted man, he asked, "What do you want?"
"Nothing important, sir," the airman replied, "I'm just here to hook up
your telephone."

Officer: "Soldier, do you have change for a dollar?"
Soldier: "Sure, buddy."
Officer: "That's no way to address an officer! Now let's try it again!"
Officer: "Soldier. Do you have change for a dollar?"
Soldier: "No, SIR!"

An Air Force Chief Master Sergeant and a General were sitting in the
barbershop.
They were both just getting finished with their shaves, when the barbers
reached for some after-shave to slap on their faces.
The General shouted, "Hey, don't put that stuff 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 the inside of a whorehouse smells like."

"Well," snarled the tough old Navy Chief to the bewildered Seaman. "I
suppose after you get discharged from the Navy, you'll just be waiting for
me to die so you can come and **** on my grave." "Not me, Chief!" the Seaman
replied. "Once I get out of the Navy, I'm never going to stand in line
again!"
