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 Navy Friday Funny!
One day, a Navy Chaplain of the Chaplain’s Corp passed away. On the same day, a Navy Master Chief also died. They both arrived at Heaven’s Gate together and were met by Saint Peter.
Saint Peter asked the Chaplain, “Would you mind if I took care of the Chief first?”
The Chaplain replied, “I’ve been doing the Lord’s work and have been looking forward to this day for more than 30 years. A few more moments won’t be a problem.”
Saint Peter makes a quick call. In no time, a solid gold limousine arrives. Three female angels get out, each more beautiful than the other. Together they drag the Chief into the limo. The limo drives off toward a shining gold castle where a glorious celebration can be heard.
The Chaplain is very impressed. If they do that for a Chief, what will they do for a person who has given their live to serve the Lord?
Saint Peter then turns to the Chaplain, points down a long lane, and says, “Chaplain. You will be down this road in Barracks G, third floor, bunk #77A.”
The Chaplain is flabbergasted. “Saint Peter. I’ve given my entire life in the service of the Lord to only be placed in a barracks, while a Navy Master Chief is surrounded by beautiful angels and music, and taken to a gleaming castle! This is outrageous!”
“Chaplain,” Saint Peter says with a heavy sigh.
“We get all types of religious leaders up here, all the time. This is our FIRST Navy Chief!”
There was a moment of silence while the gears were whirring in my brain……followed by a huge guffaw!! Thanks for the laughs!
My pleasure. Glad I bring a smile. Hope all is well on your end.
