Talking Air Force ground crew the most intelligent

A Proven Fact...

Of the sister Services, the Air Force has the most intelligent enlisted members! This is no theory;
it's actually been proven:

Take the Army. When the s--- hits the fan, the young Army private wakes up to the bellowing of his
First Sergeant. He grabs his BDUs out of his foot locker, dresses, runs to the chow-hall for
breakfast on the fly, then jumps in his tank. Pretty soon, the Platoon Commander arrives, gives him
a big salute, and says, "Give 'em Hell, soldier!"

Now take the Navy. When the s--- hits the fan, the young Sailor is eating breakfast in the mess. He
hustles the 20 feet to his battle station, stuffing extra pastries in his pocket as he goes. There he
sits, in the middle of a steel target, with nowhere to run, when the Captain comes on the 1MC and
says, "Give 'em Hell, Sailors! I salute you!"

Now take the Marines. When the s--- hits the fan, the young Marine is kicked out of bed by his First
Sergeant and puts on the muddy set of BDUs he was wearing on the field exercise he was part of
three hours earlier. He gets no breakfast, but is told to feel free to chew on his boots. He runs out
and forms up with his rifle. Pretty soon, his platoon commander comes out, gives the Marine a
sharp salute, and says, "Give 'em Hell, Marine!"

Now the Air Force. When the s--- hits the fan, the Airman receives a phone call at his off-base
quarters. He gets up, showers, shaves, and puts on the fresh uniform he picked up from the BX
cleaners the day before. He jumps in his car and cruises through the McDonalds Drive-Thru for an
Egg McMuffin and Coca-Cola on his way into work. Once at work, he signs in on the duty roster. He
proceeds to his F-15, spends 30 minutes pre-flighting it, and signs off the forms. Pretty soon the
pilot, a young captain arrives, straps into the jet, and starts the engines. Our young Airman stands
at attention, gives the aviator a sharp salute, and says, "Give 'em Hell, Captain!"
