UH-I Crew Chief

Flight,

I'm not so sure how true this is, I don't play Golf.

Tom Gator 851.

A tourist walked into a pet store and began looking at the animals on
display. While he was there, an Infantry Sergeant from the Army base
walked
in and said to the shopkeeper, "I'll take a 6114 Monkey, please."
The clerk nodded, went to a cage at the side of the store and took
out a
monkey. He put a collar and leash on the animal and handed it to the
Sergeant, saying, "That'll be $1,000." The sergeant paid and left
with
the
monkey.
Surprised, the tourist went to the shopkeeper and said, "That was a
very
expensive monkey. Most of them are only a few hundred dollars. Why
did
that
one cost so much?"
The shopkeeper answered, "Ah, that 6114 Monkey, he can rig a
parachute,
score 300 on the Army PT test, set up a perimeter defense and perform
the
duties of SDO with no mistakes. It's well worth the money."
The tourist spotted a monkey in another cage. "That one's even more
expensive--$10,000! What can it do?" "Oh, that one is a "Colonel"
monkey.
It can command thousands of men, operates well on the E-ring, can do
the
paperwork and never misses an opportunity to keep his mouth shut. A
very
useful monkey indeed "replied the shopkeeper."
The tourist looked around a little longer and found a third monkey in
a
cage. The price tag read, "$50,000". The shocked tourist exclaimed,
"That
one costs more than all the others put together! What in the world
can it
do?"
"Well, the shopkeeper said, I've never actually seen him do anything
but
drink beer, play golf and play with his *#*k but his papers say he's
a
UH-1H Helicopter Crewchief."
