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 Mustang retired after 35 years and realized a lifelong dream of buying a bird-hunting estate in Alaska.
He invited an old Admiral friend to visit for a week of pheasant shooting. The friend was in awe of the Mustang’s new gun dog, Chief. The dog could point, flush and retrieve with the very best.
The Admiral offered to buy the dog at any price. The Mustang declined, saying that Chief was the very best bird dog he had ever owned and that he couldn’t part with him.
Six months later the same Admiral returned for another week of hunting and was surprised to find the Mustang breaking in a new dog.
“What happened to Chief?” he asked.
“Had to shoot him,” the Mustang replied. “Another old shipmate came to hunt with me and couldn’t remember the dog’s name. He kept calling him ‘Master Chief.'”
After that, all the dog would do was sit on his butt and bark.
