These made me laugh.
Which Service has the Dumbest Officers? *
1. Well, in the Coast Guard the officers stay nice and dry on land, while the enlisted people head out to sea in all sorts of weather.
2. In the Army, the officers stand behind the troops and shout, "Attack!"
3. In the Navy, the officers stand on the bridge and steer the ship into action.
4. In the Marine Corps, the officers stand in front of the troops and shout, "Attack!"
5. And in the Air Force? Well, the officers go off to battle in their pretty flight suits, flying their expesnive toys, while the enlisted people head for the club for a long one.
* Or, conversely, the smartest enlisted people.

The Most Dangerous Things in the Air Force
An Airman saying "I learned this in Basic Training..."
A Sergeant saying "Trust me, sir..."
A 2nd Lieutenant saying "Based on my experience..."
A Colonel saying "I was just thinking..."
A Chief Master Sergeant saying "Watch this shit..."

Dave, you'll like this one.
Been to Frankfurt Before?
The German controllers at Frankfurt Airport were a short tempered lot, they not only expected you to know your parking location but how to get there without any assistance from them. So it was with some amusement that we (a Pan Am 747) listened to the following exchange between Frankfurt ground and a British Airways 747 (Speedbird)
Speedbird: "Good morning Frankfurt, Speedbird 206 clear of the active."
Ground: "Guten morgan, taxi to your gate.
The BA 747 pulls onto the main taxiway and stops.
Ground: "Speedbird, do you not know where you are going?!"
Speedbird: "Standby ground, I'm looking up the gate location now.
Ground (with typical German patience): "Speedbird, have you never been to Frankfurt before?!"
Speedbird (coolly): "Yes, in 1944, but I didn't stop."
