\"Navy<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Each military branch of the United States has its own cultures, language, and traditions. In the Navy, the Chief Petty Officer<\/em><\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy this Navy Friday Funny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The aircraft carrier U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln was finally inching up to the pier at homeport when the Captain of the ship noticed a sailor on the flight deck gesturing wildly with semaphore flags. He then noticed an attractive young woman standing on top of a station wagon, also waving semaphore flags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Always concerned about security and never having seen something like this, the Captain barked at his Bridge Signalman, “What message are those two people sending?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Signalman concentrated intently and soon reported, “Sir, he is sending FOXTROT-FOXTROT and she is sending ECHO-FOXTROT.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not having any clue as to what these messages could mean, the Captain dispatched an armed Marine to escort the sailor back to the Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sailor arrived, out of breath from running up the many ladders to the bridge, and saluted smartly. “Seaman Endicott reporting as ordered, sir!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Seaman”, shouted the Captain, “Who is that woman on the pier and why are you exchanging signals FF and EF?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Sir, that’s my wife, Sir, and she wants to eat first!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
