The Army guys sit in the field saying "damn it sucks to sit out here in the rain". The Marines sit in the field saying "I think this is great that we can sit in out the field in the rain". The Navy looks out the porthole of their ship and says, "it probably sucks to sit out there in the rain in that field over there". The Air Force guy is sitting in a nice hotel room saying "what the hell is the Wi Fi password?"
Obviously a joke -- All branches have some truly outstanding personnel and many have made the ultimate sacrifice. We should truly thankful for all branches of the service, including the Air Force.

A branch of the military services known for direct action and a casual approach to problem-solving. Sleeping under clean sheets is an essential component of the lifestyle.
Example 1. If you need a bridge, factory or city removed, call the Air Force and it will be gone before happy hour at the Officers' Club.
Example 2. If you told Navy personnel to "secure a building," they would turn off the lights and lock the doors. The Armywould occupy the building so no one could enter. Marines would assault the building, capture it, and defend it with suppressive fire and close combat, leveling it in the process. The Air Force, on the other hand, would take out a three-year lease with an option to buy.

The most effective, capable, and rational branch of the military; most effective force via General Patton, USA,"You don't win wars by dying for your country. You win wars by making the other poor bastard die for his country!"

Controls nuclear weapons for the United States. Most unappreciated branch of the military. This is largely due to ignorance. Our planes are usually the first into a wartime environment to clear the way for soldiers and marines.
Many "soldiers" who look down upon the Air Force do not realize that there are many fighting members of the Air Force that are not Officers. While most of the enlisted force has noncombat duties, there are many career fields that place enlisted men in the field.
Combat Control and TAC-P are Special Forces that enter combat zones to fight alongside marines and soldiers and call in air strikes. PJs (Pararescue Jumpers) are the tip of our Special Forces, they jump into extreme combat situations to rescue Marines, SEALs, and Rangers. They have received some of the highest awards in the service, such as the Medal of Honor.
Even Security Forces (MPs for the Air Force) now have extended training on convoys and urban warfare since the war on terrorism started. Security Forces now performs convoys in Iraq and Afganistan, and conducts sweeps throughout Iraqi cities near Air Bases. The 820th Combat Security Forces Squadron were some of the first servicemen to jump into Iraq along side of the 82nd Airborne. Select Security Forces personnel also attend Phoenix Raven (advanced hand to hand combat) Training, as well as Army Ranger school
While most of the Air Force are slackers, there are a select few that are true soldiers. You will see them wearing berets and flight suits.

The greatest Air Expeditionary Force the world will ever see. Capable of supplying troops with air conditioned tents in the middle east, while our fellow branches get all toasty in their "tents?". Also owner to the greatest bomber, the B-52H stratofortress. Bye bye sucka's
(Any other branch)" Hey I want some real food, lets go to the Air Force side of the desert, I heard that they are having steak and lobster."

The single-most feared asset of the DoD. The Air Force has single-handedly won wars (Bosnia, Kosovo), ended wars (WW2, Vietnam), and prevented all-out wars (OIF, Desert Storm). No other branch can claim "Dominance" like the USAF. The USAF has not lost an aircraft to enemy counterparts since the 1970's. The US Navy does not have "Water Dominance" nor does the Army have "Land Dominance". However, the USAF has AIR DOMINANCE. We not only deliver Precision Guided Missiles, but we do it better than anyone. We have the best people, the best assets, and the best track record of any branch in the DoD. People are leaving the Army and Navy to join the Air Force. The Air Force is having to kick people out because everyone wants in and there is no more room. Yes, we may have A/C in our tents. So what? Do not tell me that you would prefer your tent to be 130 degrees as opposed to a nice cool 73. Never forget who softened up the Iraqi Republican Guard. Never forget who enticed the surrender of the Iraqi Army before the war even started. And, never forget who you call when you are in trouble. AIR POWER!
*Insert other branch here* Troop: Man, I wish I had a A/C unit in MY tent!
*Insert other branch here* Troop: Shit! Enemy contact! Call for Close Air Support!
*Insert other branch here* Troop: I should have joined the Air Force instead of the *insert other branch here again
