Default 2 Master Chiefs And A Sergeant Major

An oldie.

Years ago, a young Navy Pilot was injured while ejecting from his A-4
Skyhawk due to engine failure during a cat shot from the carrier, but due
to the heroics of rescue helicopter crew and the ship's hospital staff, the
only permanent injury was the loss of one ear. Since he wasn't physically
impaired, he remained on flight status and eventually became an Admiral.

However, during his career he was always sensitive about his
appearance.

One day the Admiral was interviewing two Navy Master Chiefs and a
Marine Sergeant Major for his personal staff. The first Master Chief was a
Surface Navy type and it was a great interview. At the end of the
interview the Admiral asked him, "Do you notice anything different about
me?" The Master Chief answered, "Why, yes, Admiral. I couldn't help but
notice that you are missing your starboard ear, so I don't know whether
this impacts your hearing on that side."

The Admiral got very angry at this lack of tact and threw him out of his
office.

The next candidate, an Aviation Master Chief, when asked this same
question, answered, "Well yes, Sir, you seem to be short one ear." The
Admiral threw him out as well.

The third interview was with the Marine Sergeant Major. He was
articulate, extremely sharp, and seemed to know more than the two Navy
Master Chiefs put together. The Admiral wanted this guy, but went ahead
with the same question. "Do you notice anything different about me?"

To his surprise, the Sergeant Major said, "Yes Sir. You wear contact lenses."

The Admiral was impressed and thought to himself, what an incredibly
tactful Marine. "And how would you know that?" the Admiral asked.

The Sergeant Major replied: "Well, sir, it's pretty hard to wear glasses with only one f*ckin' ear.
