Jump School

"Jump School"

After enlisting in the 82nd Airborne Division,
I eagerly asked my Recruiter what I could
expect from jump school.

"Well," he said, "it's three weeks long."

"What else," I asked.

"The first week they separate the men from
the boys," he said. "The second week, they
separate the men from the fools."

"And the third week?" I asked.

"The third week, the fools jump."

"Waiting In Line"

"Well," snarled the tough old sergeant to the
bewildered private. "I suppose after you get
discharged from the Army, you'll just be waiting
for me to die so you can come and spit on my
grave."

"Not me, Sarge!" the private replied. "Once
I get out of the Army, I'm never going to stand
in line again!"

"Classic Air Traffic Control Tower Conversations"

"Air Force '45, it appears your engine has...oh,
disregard. I see you've already ejected."

"You're gonna have to key the mic. I can't see
you when you nod your head."

"Put your compass on 'E' and get out of my
airspace."

"Don't anybody maintain anything."

"Climb like your life depends on it...because
it does."
