rehmwa 2 #199 October 27, 2005 QuoteJust Selected for AST Advanced Statistical Training? Don't worry your AF long hair cuts over the brainy stuff, the Navy can handle the smart stuff like they always do. That and the really tough flying too. Real simple - The Navy handles the brainy stuff, flies the planes, deliver the soldiers. The Army can fly the choppers, storm the beaches, fight the battles. Seals and Rangers can handle special ops. We sell the Marines for a small profit, use the AF for shows and PR and as doubles for Hollywood movies and turn a profit there. Anything left of the AF we can give to NASA. Works well and cuts overall military costs - everyone can appreciate that. ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
