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.

Three men are sitting stiffly side-by-side on a long commercial flight.
After they’re airborne and the plane has leveled off, the man in the window seat abruptly says, distinctly and confidently, in a low voice, “Admiral, United States Navy, retired. Married, two sons, both surgeons.”
After a few minutes the man in the aisle seat states through a tightlipped smile, “Admiral, United States Navy, retired. Married, two sons, both judges.”
After some thought and a quick glance at the men on both sides of him, the fellow in the center seat decides to introduce himself.
With a twinkle in his eye he proclaims, “Master Chief Petty Officer, United States Navy, retired.
Never married, two sons, both Admirals.”
