Marine Joke
« on: February 17, 2015, 06:39:23 PM »
This joke I'm sure won't offend anyone.

A Taliban Army platoon was on patrol when the commander noticed a lone U.S. Marine standing on a hilltop in their area. The commander told two of his soldiers to go take out the Marine, so they dropped their packs and promptly ran as fast as they could toward him. Just before they got to the top, the Marine ran over the other side of the hill. The two soldiers followed. For the next few minutes there were screams and dust flying in the air. Then as quick as it had started, it stopped and the Marine came up on the hilltop. He brushed off his cammies, straightened his cover, crossed his arms and stood there looking at the Taliban soldiers.

The infuriated commander called for a squad to go get the Marine. They promptly ran as fast as they could toward him. Just before they got to the top, the Marine ran over the other side of the hill. The squad followed, and for the next few minutes there were screams and dust flying in the air. Then as quick as it had started, it stopped and the Marine came up on the hilltop. Brushed off his cammies, straightened his cover, crossed his arms and stood there looking at the Taliban soldiers once again.

The commander was really hot now. He ordered the rest of his platoon to attack the Marine. Determined that Taliban soldiers were far superior to one lone U.S. Marine, they had blood in their eyes as they ran up the hill. Just before they got to the top, the Marine ran over the other side of the hill. The bloodthirsty soldiers followed. For many minutes there were screams and dust flying in the air. It continued and continued. Finally, one lone Taliban soldier came crawling back to the commander. His uniform was torn, cuts were all over his body. The commander asked for a report. The lone soldier, trying to catch his breath, replied in a forceful and trembling voice:

"Sir,...run,...it's a trick. There are TWO of them!

Hahaha. The few. The proud. The Marines.

Large airplane flying over the pacific ocean calls ground control and asks the actual time for that zone.  Controller says, "depends on who you are...identify." 

Pilot says, "why does that matter?"

Ground control says, "Well, if you are a Delta flight, it is 3 pm.  If you are a U.S. Air Force flight, it is 1500 hours.  If you are a Navy plane, it is 6 bells in the afternoon watch.  If you are an Army flight, the little hand is on the 3 and the big hand is on the 12 and the sun is shining.  If you are Marines, it is friday afternoon and 2 hours to happy hour.

Aircraft carrier operations control tower to in-bound aircraft for landing on board: "What's your ETA?"
Pilot: "My DME reads 180 nm and I am cruising at 360 kts.; you figure it out."
