I almost joined the Air Force before college. Was planning on going in through OCS so I'd be all "Officer and a Gentleman" styles.

The recruiter laughed and asked me why I really wanted to join. I think he got nervous when I smiled.

Navy Slogan: Shape Up And Then You Can Ship Out.

"Army Strong" sounds like the slogan of a floor-washing detergent. "Got tough greasy stains? You need Killemall Liquid--it's ARMY STRONG!!!"

"Do something amazing" reminds me of Neil from The Young Ones.

Maybe now people in the Air Force will understand the pain improvisers suffer at parties and in office introductions.

"Oh, you're in the Air Force? Ooh! Do something amazing!"
