Rockingham Remembered

A Little Military Humor
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."

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".

dollar?"
Soldier: "No, SIR!"

A Navy Chief and an Admiral 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 admiral shouted, "Hey, don't put that stuff
on me! My wife will think I've been in a whore
house.

The chief turned to his barber and said, "Go
ahead and put it on. My wife doesn't know what
a whore house 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 spit on my
grave."

"Not me, Chief!" the Seaman replied. "Once I get
out of the Navy, I'm never going to stand inline
again!"
