Another good one ...

The Chain of Command

Admiral - Leaps over tall buildings with a single bound. Is more powerful than a locomotive. Is faster than a speeding bullet. Walks on water. Gives policy guidance to God.

Captain - Leaps short buildings with a single bound. Is more powerful than a small engine. Is just as fast as a speeding bullet. Walks on water if the sea is calm. Talks with GOD.

Commander - Leaps short buildings with a running start. Is almost as powerful as a small engine. Is slower than a speeding bullet. Walks on water in indoor swimming pools. Talks with GOD if special form is provided.

Lieutenant commander - Barely clears little huts. Lose tug of war with small engine . Can fire a speeding bullet. Swims well. Is occasionally addressed by GOD.

Lieutenant - Crashes into buildings trying to leap over them. Is run over by small engines. Can sometimes handle a gun without inflicting self injury. Dog paddles. Talks to animals.

Lieutenant Junior Grade - Cannot recognize buildings. Recognizes small engines two or three times. Is not issued ammunition. Can stay afloat if instructed in Mae West. Talks to walls.

Ensign - Falls over doorstep when trying to enter a building. Says"Look at the Choo-choo" when locomotive passes by. Not allowed elastic for his slingshot. Plays in puddles. Mumbles to himself.

Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer - Lifts tall buildings and walks under them. Kicks Locomotives off tracks. Catches Bullets in teeth and eats them. Freezes water with a single glance. Drives a 1993 4Runner SR5.
He is GOD.

Carry on!

You had me rolling until that last part! One of my favorites but it's been awhile since I heard it so I will paraphrase

"the differences in commissioned officer warrants and enlisted...

Senior officer approaches the CO and declares 'sir with my extensive college education and formal training I suggest our course of action is as follows...'

Warrant officer approaches the CO and says 'sir with my extensive field knowledge and on the job training I suggest our course of action is as follows...'

The Chief Petty Officer approaches the CO and says 'hey cap'n watch this ****'
 
For almost 4 pages I thought I was going to be the only Coastie. Glad to see I'm not alone
