Each military branch of the United States has its own cultures, language, and traditions. In the Navy, the Chief Petty Officer serves a dual role as both a technical expert and as a leader; emphasis being more on leadership. There is always a sense of humor that comes from this culture. For the Navy, I find the more ingenious humor typically involves a CPO.

A Navy SEAL Chief walks into a bar in downtown San Diego and takes a seat next to a very attractive woman.
He gives her a quick glance then casually looks at his new Apple watch for a moment.
The woman notices this and asks with a wry grin, “Is your date running late?”
“No” he replies. “I just got this state-of-the-art Apple watch, and I was just testing it.”
The intrigued woman says, “A state-of-the-art watch? What’s so special about it?”
He smugly states, “It uses alpha waves to talk to me telepathically.”
The lady says, “What’s it telling you now?”
He turns to her, looking her in the eye with a slight grin. “Well, it says you’re not wearing any skivvies.”
The woman giggles and replies, “Well it must be broken because I am wearing panties!”
The SEAL smirks, then taps his watch. “Damn. Darn thing’s an hour fast.”
