The Language Barrier

(Reprinted from Sunshine State WAVES, a newsletter for Florida State WAVES National Members.)

One reason the Services have trouble operating jointly is that they don't
speak the same language!

For example, if you told Navy personnel 'secure a building', they would
turn off the lights and lock the doors.

Army personnel would occupy the building so no one could enter.

Marines would assault the building, capture it and defend it with
suppressive fire and close combat.

The Air Force, on the other hand, would take out a three-year lease,
with an option to buy!
