An Air Force ranger while on leave got special orders. When he arrived at the base his senior officer explained the mission to him. He told the ranger that five men were captured by the enemy after their party was ambushed. After you're dropped off by Heli you'll travel to the river where we've left a raft. You'll paddle 3 clicks upstream and then head west for 2.5 clicks. You must take out the small enemy encampment and set the troops free then head back downstream towards the LZ.

The ranger got his equipment and headed off. He dropped out of the chopper, got to the boat, went upstream, towards the encampment, took out all enemies, and set the men free. On his way back downstream he found himself bored, so he decided to sing the Air Force song. "Off we go, into the wild blue yonder, flying high into the sun...". Little did the ranger know at that very moment God was looking down on him. Wow, thought God. That is one high speed ranger. I wonder what would happen if I took away half of his brain. Just then, BAM he took it away and looked down again. The ranger kept on paddling and sang "Off we go..into the...wild..blue yon-der". Wow, god thought to himself. He's still going, that's great. I wonder what would happen if I took away another quarter of his brain. BAM! and it was gone, but still the ranger kept pressing. Paddling a little slower as he thought, "Off we...go..in-to the......wild...blue.... yonder". God couldn't help thinking that with 75% of his brain the ranger refused to stop and kept to his mission. I wonder, thought God, what would happen if I took the last quarter. BAM, and the last quarter was gone. The ranger stopped for a second and sang aloud "BE, ALL THAT YOU CAN BE.."



This is just a joke and I don't think either branch of the military is better. I am prior Air force and I support all branches. Sorry if I offend.

i thought it was quite funny

Thank you JT. It's always touch when you put the military against each other. Everyone knows that the Air Force and Army are always doggin each other. I got one more I think i'll put up.

oh i know,all branches dog each other but truthfully,no military branch is better than the other because each one has it's purpose and if we didn't have all 4,we would never be able to defend this country!.my brother was in the national guards for about 8 years but while he was doing his AIT,he got dogged by all the branches because he was a "weekend warrior".

Ah, but your leaving one out. Coast guard. Most people don't think of it as a seperate branch, but they keep a lot of drugs out of the country

yeah,sorry forgot about Coast Guard.there used to be a joke in the military about the only requirement to be in the Coast Guard was you had to be atleast 5 ft tall,that way if you fell out of the boat,you wouldn't drown.

i tried my best to join the military but due to health reasons they denied me but yet one of my friends (ex friend)was pretty messed up in the head and they allowed him to join!
