"If it's not leaking, it's empty". - Navy Pilot in regards to naval aircraft.

a crew chief on a CH-53 from HMH-461 told me that once about the hydraulics, I looked at him like he was crazy... after a few more flights I found myself looking at the hoses overhead making sure there was a leak...
 
Every helicopter that I flew in always looked like it was held together with tape and spit; because it was. I always sat at the door figuring that if something went wrong that I would jump. At least I'd have a few seconds of quiet before I hit the ground. :ROFLMAO:

Grunts no like flying. :confused:
 
ya know I always wondered why they left the back cargo door down when flying... maybe that was it... they shoulda put an "Exit" sign there...
 
Here are a few military sayings that I found:

"Why does the Air Force need expensive new bombers? Have the people we've been bombing over the years been complaining?"
George Wallace

"We have women in the military, but they don't put us in the front lines. They don't know if we can fight, if we can kill. I think we can. All the general has to do is walk over to the women and say, 'You see the enemy over there? They say you look fat in those uniforms.'"
Elayne Boosler

"Military justice is to justice what military music is to music."
Groucho Marx

Army food: the spoils of war

David Friedman

"My fellow Americans. I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes."
President Reagan, before a scheduled radio broadcast, unaware that the microphone was already on. - Yes and he was an American President. o_O

"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

"War is God's way of teaching Americans geography."
Ambrose Bierce

"Our bombs are smarter than the average high school student. At least they can find Kuwait."
A. Whitney Brown, during First Gulf War

VALOR, n. A soldierly compound of vanity, duty and the gambler's hope.
"Why have you halted?" roared the commander of a division at Chickamauga, who had ordered a charge. "Move forward, sir, at once."
"General," said the commander of the delinquent brigade, "I am persuaded that any further display of valor by my troops will bring them into collision with the enemy."
Ambrose Bierce, Dead Link Removed

Grunt, n. The name of a group of Marines, that comes from the sound they make when a 130lb man has to lift and put on a 150lb pack.

Well....Considering you may have offended 15% of our members, half of humanity and a minority group in less than 20 words, I have to give kudos for that. Although perhaps the joke should be kept in a private message format.
