USMC!

I laughed my ass off!! I couldn't agree with you more. Those air farce fly-pussies have it licked. They get out performed by the Air National Guard at nearly every level and component!

Of course the two best parts of the miltary have the same root word;

Marine and Submarine

Fly-Pussies? That is a new one. Did you come up with it all by yourself? Yeah, the Navy is very HARD CORE! Dream on. The Navy is filled with as many pencil pushers and computer geeks as the Air Force.

Conspicuously absent is the Coast Guard... hummm. Something's not right there...

Yeah it's always nice to have the narrow minded discredit another service because of there own poor choices...

Is it a jealousy based comment or one rooted in actual knowledge?

Is it any wonder why the AF requires the highest minimum asvab scores to enlist than any of the other armed services?

Is it any wonder why the AF academy was rated best quality education in the country?

Is it any wonder why the AF has the largest budget and latest and greatest technology of any branch of service?

Is it any wonder why we in the AF get NEW equipment, from tactical equipment to vehicles, while other services work off of Vietnam, 1980's and gulf war era equipment...

Fly-pussies that’s a new one to me, it's a wonder you could type all those letter in a row like that while trying to wipe up the drool, although I'm sure it took you the better part of the day to type it, after all I'm sure its hard for a jarhead to get past the "hunt and peck" typing method...

It’s funny how you forget to mention such career fields like combat controller, para rescue, and tactical air control party... all Air Force career fields that could hardly be compared to what the Army and Marine Corps have to offer or they would do it them selves.

It's the pararescueman who parachutes in to rescue downed pilots, and wounded soldiers in high risk areas not the army pogue.

It's the combat controller and tac-p who call in air strikes to protect the Army soldier, not the barley able to pass the ASVAB Marine Corps grunt.

And since we're on the subject, you forgot to mention how the AF is assuming combat convoy operations in Iraq... thanks for the discredit, I'm sure the families of those who have been KIA while conducting escorts for the re-supply convoys that bring all you wonderful jarheads and grunts equipment, food, and fuel appreciate it.

So in closing, next time you decide to spout off about something you know NOTHING about, think about what you’re about to say (that is if your actually capable of thinking independently, I know the Army and MC don't like there enlisted folks to do that) and stop to consider that it's the AF that extends the nations humanitarian aid around the world, it's the AF that fly's critically ill military and civilian personnel around the country for life saving treatment free of charge, it's the AF that provides defensive cover for our friends on the ground, and it was the AF that flew 24/7/365 missions in defense of this nation, during the height of the cold war. Our history may not go back to 1775, but it is absolutely vital to our survival as a nation in this day in age.

Dear Jar head ,or more likley former jar-head.

I take umbrage to you comments on medals for the army (my service). After spending March to September in Mosul (the prior six months in Baghdad), I'll keep my "I was there" ribbon. Might I suggest you go to your local recruiter, do your time, then make the comments?

Oh, you've got to feed your cat? Sorry.... You'll forgive me, the last time I checked a dead Marine weighs about the same as a dead "dog face" and both caskets are covered by the same flag.

Guys, Guys, Guys,

Relax, this post was just a little interservice fun joke. As I have said before, and will say again, anyone, and I do mean ANYONE who dons a uniform in defence of this great country is my brother. Nothing personal................


Posted by: JoninNH

Hey, AFCOP. Quit knocking on the Army. I did my time, and I'm proud of the years I spent serving this country. If you don't like what USMCMP5811 or MPD61 said, fine, but don't do exactly what you're angry at them for doing and bash your sister services in return. I don't particularly like hearing my Service slammed in retaliation for what someone else said.

For the record, USMCMP5811, I too cringe at the "medals awarded for everything" line. I do, however, understand your intent, which was to drum up a little interservice humor... What irks me more is the way AFCOP responded.

OKAY! I knew I joined the AF for some reason. great food, great accomodations, great work stations, great people, mmmmmmmmmm.........what's wrong with that? Anyway, all of us who wear the uniform need to remember one thing. WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME TEAM> I've done joint deployments with Army and Marines and Navy all working together. If a grunt (I can say that being former Army, 101st and 3rd ID) goes down I'm going in after him just like I would an AF SF member or a Marine etc. Soooooooo, guys, lets all get along and lets all have a great holiday season. AND, lets remember our brothers/sisters who aren't home for the holidays. Keep them and their families in your prayers. OK? Everyone better now?

Amen.

When I was in the Army (I got my head shaved at Fort Benning...can I get a refund?), I would have run into an artillery barrage to help any other member of the US Armed Forces (any branch).

Similarly, I would now crawl over 100 yards of broken glass to get to another cop in trouble. We have to watch out for each other.

I know this is off topic....I was at Hanscom AFB for a court case a few weeks ago and was very impressed by the cleanliness of the base and by the professionalism of the AF Police. Keep up the great work, Hanscom!

Being Prior Service myself (Marines) I joke with everybody that has ever been in the Military, I think it's a tradition in it's own way. We have to make fun of each other because which ever branch of service you chose is always better then the other guys, but it's all in fun. When did it become a crime to joke around, i dont know his name because i dont feel like going back and looking for it but Air Force guy, you need to chill BROTHER, it's all in fun, and trust me this place is not the only place you will get ragged on, any time you run into a brother VET, who is in a different branch, you two are going to go at, but again it's all in fun. SO CHILL OUT!

Stay Safe.

Amen DODK911!! It's like on the job, that sense of humor and poking fun at your fellow officers is what keeps us going some nights. I gotta a great idea. til ya then more!!

Ok, found a new one........

Military Oaths of Enlistment...
Oaths of Enlistment

U.S. AIR FORCE OATH OF ENLISTMENT

I, Zoomie, swear to sign away four years of my useless life to the United States Air Force because I know I couldn't hack it in the Army and because the Marines frighten me. I swear to sit behind a desk and take credit for the work done by others more dedicated than me who take their job seriously. I also swear not to do any form of real exercise, but promise to defend our bike-riding test as a valid form of exercise.

I swear to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States, even though I believe myself to be above that. I promise to walk around calling everyone by their first name because I know I'm not really in the military and I find it amusing to annoy the other services. I will have a better quality of life than all those around me and will at all times be sure to make them aware of that fact.

After completion of my -- snicker -- "basic training," I will be a lean, mean, doughnut-eating, lazy-boy sitting, civilian-wearing-blue-clothes, Chairborne Ranger. I will believe that I am superior to all others, and will make an effort to clean the knife before stabbing the next person in the back with it. I will do no work unless someone is watching me (and it makes me look good), will annoy those around me, and will go home early everyday.

I consent to never getting promoted -- EVER -- and understand that all those whom I made fun of yesterday probably will outrank me tomorrow.

So help me God.

U.S. ARMY OATH OF ENLISTMENT

I, Rambo, swear to sign away four years of my mediocre life to the United States Army because I couldn't score high enough on the ASVAB to get into the Air Force, I'm not tough enough for the Marines, and the Navy won't take me because I can't swim.

I will wear camouflage every day and tuck my trousers into my boots because I can't figure out how to use blousing straps. I promise to wear my uniform 24 hours a day even when I have a date. I will continue telling myself that I am a fierce killing machine because my drill sergeant told me I am, despite the fact that the only action I ever will see is a court martial for sexual harassment.

I acknowledge the fact that I will make E-8 in my first year of service, and vow to maintain that it is because I scored perfect on my PT test. After completion of my sexual -- er -- I mean, BASIC training, I will attend a different Army school once every other month and return knowing less than I did when I left.

On my first trip home after boot camp, I will walk around like I am cool and propose to my ninth-grade sweetheart. I will make my wife stay home, because if I let her out she might leave me for a smarter, better-looking Air Force guy. Should she leave me twelve times, I will continue to take her back.

While at work, I will maintain a look of knowledge while getting absolutely nothing accomplished. I will arrive at work every day at 1000 hours because of morning PT and leave every day at 1300 hours to report back to the "COMPANY." I understand that I will undergo no training whatsoever that will help me get a job upon separation, and will end up working construction with my friends from high school. I will brag to everyone about the Army giving me $30,000 for college, but will be unable to use it because I can't pass a placement exam.

So help me God.

Signature:__________________ Date:_______________ U.S.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


NAVY OATH OF ALLEGIANCE

I, Top Gun, in lieu of going to prison, swear to sign away four years of my life to the United States Navy because I want to hang out with Marines without actually having to BE one of them, because I thought the Air Force was too "corporate," and because I thought, "Hey, I like to swim...Why not?"

I promise to wear clothing that went out of style in 1976 and to have my name stenciled on the butt of every pair of pants I own. I understand that I will be mistaken for the Good Humor man during the summer, and for the Waffen SS during the winter. I will strive to use a different language than the rest of the English-speaking world, using words like "deck, bulkhead, cover, and head," when I really mean "floor, wall, hat, and toilet." I will take great pride in the fact that all Navy acronyms, ranks and insignia, and everything else for that matter, are completely different from the other services and make absolutely no sense whatsoever.

I will muster (whatever that is) at 0700 hours every morning unless I am buddy-buddy with the Chief, in which case I will show up around 0930 hours.

I vow to hone my coffee cup handling skills to the point that I can stand up in a kayak being tossed around in a typhoon and still not spill a drop.

I consent to being promoted and subsequently busted at least twice each fiscal year. I realize that, once selected for Chief, I am required to submit myself to the sick, and quite possibly illegal, whims of my new-found "colleagues." So help me Neptune.

Signature:__________________ Date:_______________

U.S. MARINE CORPS OATH OF ENLISTMENT

I, ________________ (state name here), swear...uhhhh...high-and-tight...porn...grunt...beer...cammies... ugh... Air Force women.... HOORAH!

So help me Corps.

Hey why did he slam the Army when it was a Jarhead who made the post Duuuhhh I especially loved the part about forward air controllers, the reason the AF does it is that the pilots doent understand military terminology so its just easier to stick a AF guy out there to interpret hehehe..

Sorry Dude couldnt resist the jab, Lighten up man ...

Lets see I've been in the army in one form or another for 28 years this september with over 14 years active ... I'm a Dope on a Rope and also a Wind Dummie and been a Mud Puppy for almost all of that 28..

Leave for Iraq on June 25th, 2006 for a year in the sand box.

SFC,

Keep you head down, watch out for the stray turds in the litter box, and come home safe Bro!

I would just like to mention that I have 13 of my fellow Air Force Cops in Baghdad and AFCop is currently deployed in a not so great area as well. I just find it funny that I have been deployed to several locations around the world, and have worked along side of every branch, even had a Marine ask to join my patrol for a day because he was bored and hadn’t operated off base his whole deployment. And ask AFCop about our wonderful accommodations in Ward 9 during Katrina with the Army! My point is we all have our perks and gripes but in the end we all work together for the same cause. So cut the kid a break!!


Posted by: DODK911

I am a former MARINE and I have the utmost respect for anyone who signs on the dotted line to serve their country, but the bottom line is there is always going to ball busting between the different branches of service. It's all done in FUN! If you (anyone upset by joking around) can't handle a little fun then you need to grow up and become a man. My .02


Stay Safe


Posted by: franizl

Here is irony for you, I am a former marine, went in open contract. You would expect to be a grunt sent to all the world's armpits but for some reason, lucky for my wife, I was stationed at camp pendleton base brig as a corrections officer. And they wouldn't let anyone leave to Okinawa, let alone another mos. My point is that some people end up in the shit and I didn't, unfortunately. . There are a ton of people who maybe didn't expect to be sent into these places who were and have my utmost respect and admiration. God bless all our service members. But you still have to take a little shit talkin, it's fun stuff!


Posted by: AFCOP

There's that and then there's being told that you've been extended another month on you overseas tour, bringing you dangerously close to the next police academy class, after missing the class you were suppsoed to be in because of a deployment....Sometimes you just want to yell and fling your M4 accross the desert... WTF!

"Sometimes you just want to yell and fling your M4 accross the desert..."

AFCOP, take it easy. You don't want to damage that Gucci gun.
