One reason the Military Services have trouble
operating jointly is that they don't speak the same language. For
example, if you told Navy personnel to "secure a building," they would
turn off the lights and lock the doors. The Army would occupy the
building so no one could enter. Marines would assault the building,
capture it, and defend it with suppressive fire and close combat. The
Air Force, on the other hand, would take out a three-year lease with an
option to buy.

Chair force 'boot camp' includes ballroom dancing and how to remain clear of the maids when they clean the 'dorm'.
