Bravest (US) armed service

A boat came into town and reminded me of an old favorite:

Three Generals and an Admiral are sitting in the O Club at Los Alamitos JFTB. They're trying to prove which branch has the bravest men.

The Marine General says, We got the bravest.

Prove it, say the others.

So they hop up to 29 Palms & head out to the range.

The Marine General walks up to a Lance Corporal & says, Marine, charge that machine gun!

Aye, aye sir! comes the reply.

When the lcpl follows his orders, he's immediately turned to swiss cheese.

The Marine General looks back & says, That takes bravery.

BS, say the others.

The Army General says,We got the bravest.

Prove it.

So they hop up to Ft Irwin NTC & head for a motor pool. There they find a soldier ground guiding M1A2s out.

The Army General walks up to the soldier & says, Stop that tank.

Yes, sir! comes the reply.

The soldier runs up in front of the tank & is quickly turned into a meat waffle by the tracks.

Now, THAT takes bravery! says The Army General.

BS, hes told.

The Air Force General says, We got the bravest. And I CAN prove it!

So they hop down to March AFB & head out to the flight line. Theres an F-15 taxing toward the runway.

The Air Force General walks up to a young airman & says, Stop that plane.

Will do, sir, comes the reply.

So the airman runs out to the runway in front of the plane , gets sucked-up into the intake, and is promptly spewed out of the exhaust as fish food.

THATS bravery! says the Air Force General.

The Admiral just starts laughing. Navy men are the REAL bravest! Follow me, says the Admiral.

So they hop down to San Diego Naval Base & head for a pier with a carrier moored to it.

As they walk down the pier, the Admiral spots a pitiful excuse for a sailor, sitting on a fuel can, smoking a cigarette. His Dungarees look like they were pulled out of the refuse. His Boondockers look like they were shined with a hot Hershey bar. He has no cover on. And it appears that his razor ran away from home.

The Admiral walks up to the sailor & says, Go change all the lights on the island structure.

The sailor notices that the ship is rocking back & forth in the current. He looks at the Admiral & says, SCREW YOU!

The Admiral looks back at the Generals & says, Now, THAT takes bravery!
