Navy vs Air Force

Is that like ITT Tech?
Hey now! It definitely is not. AFIT ended taking over the aero engineering program from NPS. I now have a Master's in aero engineering I'm not sure I'll ever use again, but hey the Navy wanted to pay for it. Fine by me...
Besides, being one of 40 Navy people at AFIT is fun. We entertain ourselves by making fun of the Air Force and its silliness.
I just got picked up for a pilot slot through OTS with a PRK waiver. No hoops to jump through, just a few more pages of paperwork. As a kid I daydreamed about flying planes off the deck of a carrier, but in the end I couldn't get commissioned before 27... You make the best of what you're dealt. During a conversation with a Marine Lt. Col. friend of mine, he said: "The difference... I'm a Marine whose been deployed with the Navy on the Enterprise and now teaches for the Air Force. We all do some damn good flying and there's going to be good and bad sh!ts in every sqaurdon. Make sure you're one of the good ones because in the end, you are the difference. Be the one that your men know they can count on and the rest will take care of itself." Twelve years down the road I better not look back and see that he was just making me feel better!
Good luck.

Awase Meadows is better than Kadena. The exception that proves the rule.
how bad ass is that...seriously..
Navy vs. Air Force
The Navy and the Air Force decided to have a canoe race on the Potomac River. Both teams practiced hard and long to reach their peak performance before the race. On the big day, the Navy won by a mile. Afterwards, the Air Force team became very discouraged and depressed. The officers of the Air Force team decided that the reason for the crushing defeat had to be found.
A "Metrics Team," made up of senior officers was formed to investigate and recommend appropriate action. Their conclusion was that the Navy had 8 seamen rowing and 1 officer steering, while the Air Force had 1 airman rowing and 8 officers and NCOs steering.
So the senior officers of the Air Force team hired a consulting company and paid them incredible amounts of money. They advised that too many people were steering the boat and not enough people were rowing.
To prevent losing to the Navy again the next year, the Air Force Chief of Staff made historic and sweeping changes: the rowing team's organizational structure was totally realigned to 4 steering officers, 3 area steering superintendents and 1 assistant superintendent steering NCO.
They also implemented a new performance system that would give the 1 airman rowing the boat greater incentive to work harder. It was called the "Air Force Rowing Team Quality Program", with meetings, dinners, and a three-day pass for the rower. "We must give the rower empowerment and enrichment through this quality program."
The next year the Navy won by 2 miles.
Humiliated, the Air Force leadership gave a letter of reprimand to the rower for poor performance. Initiated a $4 billion program for development of a new joint-service canoe, blamed the loss on a design defect in the paddles, and issued career continuation bonuses and leather rowing jackets to the beleaguered steering officers in the hopes they would stay for next year's race.
Meanwhile, the Army team is still trying to figure out why the oars keep making divots in the grass when they're rowing.

Voted 8.9 average on the Hot-or-Not scale
Rather convenient how you neglected to mention what the navy team was doing after the race...
That's right...the Navy guys were still wondering why the Air Force is gay.....I think that guy on the left is a JSTARS guy!Rather convenient how you neglected to mention what the navy team was doing after the race...
I took a crap earlier which gave me time to think.
I think the Marine team would win. It would consist of:
8 - PFCs and LCpls to row
1 - Sgt to steer
1 - SNCO to sneak around the AF/Navy dock and "acquire" a better boat
1 - Lt to go to a staff meeting and hit the gym
