If anyone watches the show this evening, look for my youngest niece in the audience!
Apparently 250 U.S. Air Force officers and non-officers (what are they called?) will be in the audience. Must be celebrating some sort of military anniversary or something, but off the top of my head I cannot think of what it might be.

A Private First Class (PFC) is a low ranking enlisted man, a second lieutenant is a low ranking officer. The first one gets the s****y end of the stick every time, and the secone one sips coffee all day, and never gets his hands dirty. The second one gets paid handsomly for doing nothing, and the other gets very little for his hard work.

I hear tell that submarine captains make the best coffee in the military.

It's a joke, you miserable jackwagons.
The difference between a PFC and a Second Lieutenant is... a PFC's been promoted.

I propose a new reality show called Drinking with the Stars. Amateurs get to team up with celebrity drinkers to get s**t-faced.

My favourite character name in Catch-22 is "Ex-PFC Wintergreen". Still makes me smile 30-odd years after my first reading.

Great book, Catch 22.
Bill Gaines the founder and now dead'r than my potential editor of Mad Magazine was on trial in Oklahoma for decency (due to his Crypt of Terror etc magazines). The charges were brought by a retired General who they kept refering to as General so and so. Gaines stood up and insisted if the General got to be called by his ex military title he wanted to be called Private First Class Gaines. |
