AuntiE Loc: 45th Least Free State
 
Welcome to Saturday amusement.

Comparison of courage

Army, Air Force, and Marine Generals were standing in front of a rappelling tower with a Navy Admiral. The Air Force General says to the others, "My men are the most courageous of the Armed Forces."

"Ha!" said Army, "My men are the most courageous and I'll prove it."

Army calls a Private over from the tower. He tells the Private, "I want you to jump off that tower - no rope, no parachute."

"Yes, Sir!!!" the Private yells and proceeds to climb the tower. The Private walks to the edge, yells "Hoo-ahh!" and jumps off the tower. He is k**led instantly upon impact.

"That's nothing," the Air Force General said, bored. He calls a Senior Airman over. "Son, I want you to jump off that tower - no rope, no parachute and I want you to do it with style."

"Yes, Sir!!!" the Senior Airman yells. He climbs to the top of the tower, walks to the edge and jumps. He executes a swan dive that would make Greg Louganis proud, hits the ground and dies on impact.

"Hmmph," the Marine growled. "Ya'll obviously forgot the Marine Corps were here," he said (yelling "Marine Corps!" as all Marines tend to do.)

He calls a Lance Corporal over. "Marine, I want you to jump off that tower and make the Corps proud!"

The Corporal yells, "Ooh-rah!", by way of response and runs to the tower. He grabs an M-60 and ammunition belt on the way and wraps the belt around himself in the Pancho Villa style. He climbs the tower and walks to the edge. Upon reaching the edge, he throws two grenades into the air, yells "Semper Fi Do or Die!" and jumps off. He starts shooting the M-60 in mid-air, clipping treetops and yelling the entire way down. His impact is obscured by the two exploding grenades. When the smoke clears, only little pieces of the Marine are left.

The others are impressed and nod their heads in admiration. Then the Admiral says, "That's nothing." The others turn to face the Admiral, their faces in disbelief. The Admiral calls a Seaman over who was cleaning latrines. "Son, I want you to jump off that tower- no rope, no parachute."

The Seaman looks the Admiral in the face and says, "Screw you! You kiss my ass first!" and walks off.

The Admiral turns to the others and says, "Now THAT'S courage!"

:lol:

I'm not really sure about the courage factor. The sailor did prove to be much smarter, though! :wink: :mrgreen:

You can always tell a Marine, but you can't tell them much.

The Navy was my mother, the Marine Corps was my father. They were never married. I am one proud bastard.

SEMPER FI!!!

You're 'one proud bastard' that I'm proud to call my friend.
A tip of my tequila to you, Salty! In a mason jar, of course.

Time and space does not allow for all the names I've been called. :roll: :oops:

After attending our son's graduation from Marine Boot Camp. We took him and some of the other marines out for good meal and then to the Diego Zoo for some entertainment. As we were coming through the gate, there were some Navy Guys on crutches entering as well.
My wife in all innocence asked, I wonder what happened to them? All three of the young men stated in unison - Marines.

Semper Fi

Actually it was probably because there were no Marines around when they needed help. We always try to help out members of our T***sportation Department when help is required.

Of course, no Marine wants members of our T***sportation Department hurt in a 'misunderstanding', but....better them, than one of our own!

We do wish them all a speedy recovery! :wink: :thumbup:
