Miscommunication in the Military
Heard this the other day, thought it was funny.
Why the various branches of the military have a difficult time working together at times... Take the simple phrase, "Secure That Building", and translate it.... US Marine Corps Secure That Building = Storm the building, kill everyone inside, put snipers on all four corners of the roof, defend it 'till the last man. US Navy Secure That Building = Turn the lights out and lock the door when you leave. US Air Force Secure that Building = Lease or buy the building.

This was posted in the Air Force recruiters cubicle at the Miami MEPS when I entered 12 years ago. I laughed...until I found out it's not that far from reality! Except you missed one line:
US Army Secure That Building = Take a headcount, create a single entry point, post guards, and no one goes in or out without proper authority.
