Humor for a brief respite
The following is from the Winter 2009 edition of the Texas VFW Magazine:
How to tell the difference between the branches of the US Armed Forces! If you are given the command "Secure the Building," here is what the different services would do: - The NAVY would turn out the lights and lock the doors. - The ARMY would surround the building with defensive positions, tanks and concertina wire. - The MARINE CORPS would assault the building, using overlapping fields of fire from all appropriate points on the perimeter. - The AIR FORCE would take out a three-year lease with an option to buy the building. The five most dangerous things in the military. 1. A Private saying, "I learned this in Basic..." 2. A Sergeant saying, "Trust me, sir..." 3. A Second Lieutenant saying, "Based on my experience..." 4. A Captain saying, "I was just thinking..." 5. A Warrant Officer chuckling, "Watch this..."

An example would be a jumpmaster checking the back of a parachute stating, "What the....I've never seen it done that way before... Oh heck with it, you'll be fine." Or a C-130 pilot giving his brief about the 3.5 hour lowlevel followed by a night mass-tac and ending it with, "...but we'll give it the old college try."

In my office it is.
"eh...close enough." We deal with surface danger zones for ranges.

"You sure there's no power going to this thing?"...right before I stuck my hands in the gear to do maintenance.
