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.
Enjoy this Friday Funny.
During a commercial airline flight, a Navy Chief was seated next to a young mother with a baby in her arms.
When her baby began crying during the descent for landing, the mother began nursing her infant as discreetly as possible.
The Chief pretended not to notice and, upon debarking, he gallantly offered his assistance to help with the various baby-related articles.
When the young mother expressed her gratitude, he responded, “Gosh, that’s a good looking baby… and he sure was hungry!”
Somewhat embarrassed, the mother explained that her pediatrician said breast feeding would help alleviate the pressure in the baby’s ears.
The Chief sadly shook his head, and in true Sailor fashion exclaimed… “And all these years I’ve been chewing gum.”
Sure did make me smile just like my husband used to do.
Tommy was one of the best. I think we served together on Kitty Hawk when he was still a 1st Class PO. Great guy! Glad I could make you smile…. I’ve got more coming, each Friday. As you well know, there’s no shortage of Navy jokes.
