Navy Job Interview

Years ago, a young Navy Pilot was injured while ejecting from his A-4 Skyhawk due to engine failure during a catapult shot from the carrier. Due to the heroics of rescue helicopter crew and the ship's hospital staff, the only permanent injury was the loss of one ear.

He remained on flight status and eventually became an Admiral. However, during his career he was always sensitive about his appearance.

One day the Admiral was interviewing two Navy Master Chiefs and a Marine Sergeant Major for his personal staff. The first Master Chief was a Surface Navy type and it was a great interview. At the end of the interview the Admiral asked him, "Do you notice anything different about me?"

The Master Chief answered, "Why, yes, Admiral. I couldn't help but notice that you are missing your starboard ear, so I don't know whether this impacts your hearing on that side."

The Admiral got very angry at this lack of tact and threw him out of his office.

The next candidate, an Aviation Master Chief, when asked this same question,answered, "Well yes, Sir, you seem to be short one ear."

The Admiral threw him out as well.

The third interview was with the Marine Sergeant Major. He was articulate, extremely sharp, and seemed to know more than the two Navy Master Chiefs put together. The Admiral wanted this guy but went ahead with the same question. "Do you notice anything different about me?"

To his surprise, the Sergeant Major said, "Yes Sir. You wear contact lenses."

The Admiral, impressed thought to himself, what an incredibly tactful Marine. "And how would you know that?" the Admiral asked.

The Sergeant Major replied: "Well, sir, it's pretty hard to wear glasses with only one f%^@#$! ear. "

Allis-being a old Airdale I will give your story a 10--Funny---Thanks---Tee

Sounds like my Master Chiefs Tell it like it is if you don't like it you can take a flying leap off the
fantail LOL

Ain't that the truth! Never knew a master chief who didn't tell it like it is. Those side walking sand crabs could learn a thing or two.

Mostly officers don't f$%# with Master Chiefs, they need them too much.

Thanks for the story. I got a really good laugh out of it. Sounds like a story
R Lee Ermey would tell dont ya know. I do miss him. He did several movie roles
but his voice over work is what is incredible. If you do a search it blows you
mind how many animated series and even video game voice overs he did. There was
an episode of Invader ZIM he did called Hobo 13. What a crazy episode. He plays
a drill sargent....of coarse. Loved Mail Call and Lock ń Load.

Suck it up BUTTER CUP!!!!!

A good friend sent me that joke who is an airforce veteran. I never served (and regret it) but have the highest respect for all US military.

R Lee Emery ... 'ya jackwagon!!' lol
