Distinguishing Between The Different Services Terminology
OK, before any of my Air Force readers get upset remember that I myself am in the AF and this is merely humor...

Navy/USMC............. Army........... Air Force
Head........................ Latrine......... Powder Room
Rack........................ Cot.............. Single w/ruffle & duvet
Chow Hall................. Mess Hall..... Cafe
Utilities..................... BDU's.......... Casual Wear
Seaman................... Private........ Bobby or Jimmy
Chief....................... Sergeant..... Bob or Jim
Captain/Skipper....... Colonel....... Robert or James
Captains Mast.......... Article 15.... Time Out
Billets/Birthing......... Barracks..... Dormitory
Skivvies.................. Underwear.. Lingerie
Thrown in the Brig.... Confinement. Grounded

Now, in all fairness to myself, other NCO's and Airman, and anyone unfamiliar with the military, truth is we fall in line (for the most part) with the Army just like the Marine Corps does with the Navy. The reality is the AF takes the best care of its people out of all the branches, so this is how they tend to see it!
