Humour in Uniform part 1

AltarBoy · Post by **AltarBoy** » Thu Jul 27, 2006 1:23 pm

This is the first part in a series of jokes and other funny situations from the military. Post as many as you can get.

During the Battle of The Atlantic in WW2 a British convoy was sailing to Russia. The convoy was protected by a camship carrying a Hurricane called by many a 'Hurricat' that was launched by catapult. One hazy morning spotters detected a lone Focke Wulf 200 Convoy Raider coming in low. With razor-sharp efficiency the crew prepped the fighter for take off and sent the hurricane away in under 2 minutes. Beaming with pride at their speed the crew congratulated themselves. A surly man came up behind and joined in the celebration. "Don't mind me chaps, I'm only the pilot for that bloody Hurricane you just sent off!"

This one really happened:

One day I was flying Il2 offline and was level at 12,000 ft. I looked right and saw a black speck far away. Ah, an enemy aircraft I said to myself. So banking I went in pursuit. 30 mins passed then another 15 mins went by and that black speck was still far away. Can't be an Me-262, it's bloody 1941! Finally in fustration I gave up. But looking closely at my screen I wiped it and lo and behold that black speck was gone!

....and the moral of this story is...clean your bloody computer screen!

If you want humour in uniforms just watch Dad's Army.

So its official! the USA had X-wings in WW2! I've seen it with my own eyes!

Dear Oleg,

When will we get X-wings in IL-2?

Will we get clipped wing versions also? and R2D2 nav systems? and a choice of laser colours? also can we get those Y-wings is it? - anyway they're kinda neat too ... oh and a Death Star.

PS.

Oleg, you never answered my e-mail about the IL-2 Battle for Middle Earth expansion pack.

I claim the parachute flying is undermodelled, one can't even cut off the chute from the pilot.....

...the U-2 would still be overmodelled.

Even Darth Farter wouldn't do him any harm.
