I mean. The air force is almost always close to a chair.
Pilots? They're sitting pretty in the cockpit.
Helicopter pilots? They're just bumbling along, sitting.
Missile control? They're sitting too. Unless it's coffee break.
MPs? They're sitting in cars, or on bikes.
Logistics? They're sitting too.
Network Defense? Oh! Sitting as well. And eating Hot Pockeeeeeeeeets.
Combat Controllers? They're sitting waiting for the planes to arrive.
Nuclear Weapons? They're sitting messing with buttons.
Those little cars that move the planes around? Guess what their drivers are doing.
It's a whole bunch of sitting.
Then again, I guess I shouldn't make fun, being Canadian and all. I mean, so far, we've got four rifles... We're working on five, but that got used as a hockey stick.
Well I hear you guys are flying Alpha Jets now at least... and I also heard something about you guys getting your own transport fleet so you could stop leasing ours :P

Cheated the way from fringe to elite. Clique of stylists, rounded illogic skipping a beat to a dead cert. By lheaving charges and bursting the abscess, with a forked toungue, bloated with courage and spewing self-importance. Drop your sights, aim lower, leave umblemished those with real power.

Hey.If you had posted all that information before hand, I wouldn't have been a confused Canadian not knowing what she was talking about and they wouldn't have pulled it.

I think I missed something.
It must be lovely to wake up in the morning and understand everything.

Hahaha...my boyfriend's school for music was all the services in one. It was great. An Army guy stole a tuba from the Marines. In retaliation, a Marine guy hit an Army guy in the neck with a pellet gun from a three story window at night. In other words, an Army guy did something dumb and a Marine guy, while still doing something dumb, did something to show his skill as a Marine. Rivalry between branches is fantastic.

Thank you Hydrok for an excellent explanation for those who may not understand the friendly (if intensive) ribbing that goes on between the chairforce (example A for those slow to pick up) and the rest of our fine armed services honestly folks it's all done in good nature (even when the navy SEAL guys cut power to a Green Beret barracks with some wire cutters and a micro-charge of C-4) they all know that while we rival each other but that's all to keep everyone sharp and in wartime when it counts we get busy kickin ass and taking names from air, sea and sky together (then we all get back to bickering about who's better)
