    How can our services talk to each other when they don't even speak the same language.

    When the word comes down to "secure this building", they don't even know how to act.

    The Army does the sensible thing and does a walk through, posts guards on every floor posts guards by the outer doors and maintains watch.

    The Navy just turns out all the lights and locks the doors.

    The Air Force negotiates a a 5 year lease with an option to buy.

    The Marines call in a fire mission and then storm the building floor by floor, kill everyone in it, then blow it up.

    I've been on the ****ter at test depth longer than you've been in the Navy.
    Chief says to a NUB on a submarine.

    NUB. Non Useable Body. Also called: Non-Qual, oxygen breather.

    On a sub, there are only two kinds of leaks. The kind you find. And the kind that find you.

    DAT - Dumb A$$ Tanker
    CDAT - Computerized Dumba$$ Tanker

    If you forgot which way the claymore is facing its facing you.

    If the mission is going to easy it's an ambush.

    Favorite saying I remember from the army was a Lt Colonel telling a butter bar to "get your head out of your rectal defilade" over the battalion channel. We all thought about it for a minute and then laughed our a$$es off.

    We also had an Ethiopian loader on our tank and got stuck in a river after our dumba$$ Lt ordered us to cross it, even after we argued that we were going to get stuck, as we were trying to get out the tracks started heating up some brush that was under one side and it caught fire. I was in the drivers hole and see this orange glare coming through the turret and hear " bala, bala, bala, and I ask WTF is bala? He says fire in Ethiopian. You have never seen someone get out of a tank so fast.

    What a reminder!

    These are all cadenced 12-bar blues lyrics based on jive in the 30-s & 40-s. I used to have a "bible" of these, numbering in the thousands. Paid $50 for it and sold it for $100. Thanks for the memories. <Family Friendly:> "If You Don't Like My Peaches, Why Are You Shakin' My Tree? Get Outa My Orchard And
    Leave My Peach Tree Be!" EBG
