What jokes have you heard about other service branches?

We've all heard them, but I was sitting at my desk the other day and I was thinking; how many other jokes are there between branches? We know the Coast Guard are Puddle Pirates, and the Navy are Sheepherders for the Marine Corp. The Air Force is the Chair Force, and so on. But what else have you heard in our sibling rivalry, RallyPoint?

Wait, wait, wait... You're an Infantryman but you sit behind a desk? What's up with that? :)

here is one I enjoy:,
Two Marines boarded a quick shuttle flight out of Dallas, headed for Houston. One sat in the window seat, the other sat in the middle seat. Just before take-off, an Army soldier got on and took the aisle seat next to the two Marines. The Soldier kicked off his shoes, wiggled his toes and was settling in when the Marine in the window seat said, “I think I’ll get up and get a coke.” “No problem,” said the Soldier, “I’ll get it for you.” While he was gone, the Marine picked up the Soldier’s shoe and spit in it. When the Soldier returned with the coke, the Marine in the middle seat said, “That looks good, I think I’ll have one too.” Again, the Soldier obligingly went to fetch it and while he was gone, the Marine picked up the soldier’s other shoe and spit in it. The Soldier returned and they all sat back and enjoyed the rest of the short flight to Houston. As the plane was landing, the Soldier slipped his feet into his shoes and knew immediately what had happened. “How long must this go on?” the Soldier asked. “This fighting between our services? This hatred? This animosity? This spitting in shoes and peeing in cokes?”

SPC Private RallyPoint Member Marines are passengers. Airforce, Chairforce. Army: too dumb to be Navy, not tough enough to be Marines, too smart to be Air Force.

Having said that, I'll take on all sister-service comers in fisticuffs...right up until someone OUTSIDE the services tries to mess with any of us. Then I'll back my brother/sister until the issue is settled...regardless of uniform.

And by the way, a Navy enlisted guy can push a button and annihilate you all. So suck it!

What do you call a Marine with an IQ of 160... A platoon!

Marines think foam ear protection is candy.

Great responses so far! Keep it up! Here's one for ya that my old man told me when I was a kid.
Q: Why does the Navy take Marines on the boats?
A: Because they can't take sheep!

one more for all branches

The reason the Air Force, Army, Navy and Marines bicker amongst themselves is that they don't speak the same language. For instance, take the simple phrase "secure the building".

The Army will post guards around the place.
The Navy will turn out the lights and lock the doors.
The Marines will kill everybody inside and set up a headquarters
The Air Force will take out a 5 year lease with an option to buy
