Here's an oldie-but-goodie forwarded to me by an ex-AF friend: The differences between the branches of service are best illustrated by what happens when given the order to "secure that building": The Navy Lieutenant calls his Master Chief and says: * Turn off the computers * Turn out the lights * Lock the doors The Army Captain has his list written on a notepad: * Mount a guard * Set-up a perimeter * Control all exits The Marine Corps Captain writes down on the palm of his hand: * Assemble the platoon and supplies * Approach the building along three axes * Bring the building under mortar and SAW fire * Assault the building under covering fire * Sequester surviving prisoners * Establish lanes of fire * Prepare artillery calls * Repel counterattacks The Air Force Captain types his list into his laptop: * Contact real estate agent * Negotiate 1-year lease * Be sure to get option to buy -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
