Caption this

It just tickles me.  You can read the real caption by mousing over the picture.

"How do you like them apples?"
 
"You in the C-17 -- CLOSE YOUR WINDOW!"
 
You guys are doin' pretty good today - though I admit I like Dennis' best thus far.

It's something I would do on a firing point...
 
Geez, you must *really* like Dennis' caption...
 
"Thar she blows (up)!"

(can't resist this one since they're actually positioned such that it fits)
McPointy:  "They're back!  The aliens came back for me!"
Other Two:  *sigh* "Lay off the coffee, Mac."

Last, the inimitable, "BOOYAAAH!"
 
Sorry to double post, but I just had another one, and it's sure to get a few eye rolls:

Cpt Stillman: All right soldier, lets see how you fire that mortar.
Soldier: What  coordinates sir?
Cpt Stillman: Coordinates!?!?!?
Soldier: yes Sir, they determine where the mortar..
Cpt Stillman: SOLDIER, the Army has spent a lot of money teaching you how to fire that thing, now lets see you FIRE IT.
Soldier: sir, we don't know where the shell is going to..
Cpt Stillman: SOLDIER! The only way to learn anything is to do it now.. FIRE THAT WEAPON!

 
Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin alive.  Stayin alive.

"BAD KRACKEN! Bad! Drop that ship!"
"Don't make me come up there!"
"Run!  It's a giant pink thong!"
 
During the lull in combat, Lieutenant Hornblower seized the opportunity to conduct a hip-pocket navigation training exercise in "shooting the sun"...

(Okay, so only the squids will get that)
 
It goes that way.
 
Or the C.S. Forester fans.... :)
 
Redlegs who've done any survey or solar orientation will get it too, there.  Might be another reason it occured to *you.*

And you should like it even better, it being introduced by a Guard officer.

You *do* remember why that really dark filter was supplied with your aiming circle, right?
 
Olaf - good call on that Stripes reference.
 
And Saker pops out from behind the drapes again!

* * * * * * * * * * * 
Yeah, that really dark filter was for counting sunspots so you could take the electromagnetic charge of the atmosphere into account if you wanted really, *really* accurate data for registration.

*koff*

Whut?
 

  Interestingly enough, our Naviguesser on the P-3 had a small sextant he had to use at least once each mission for quals. We had a small bubble in the overhead for him to use when shooting the sun OR a star fix.

Sarge's idea of duck hunting. Mortors loaded with buckshot

Sarge:  "Blow the damn duck calls. Blow the duck calls! Here they come!"

Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a frog! NO, it's UnderDog!
