A similar system existed in the Navy. Pilots are always officers. Mechanics are almost always enlisted men. Tactical aircraft are generally single pilot/single occupant, though some are single pilot/backseat operator. Tactical aircraft are strapped on before takeoff. There is no 'walking around' like there is in transport aircraft. Consequently there is no 'head' (Navy for 'bathroom'), so tactical aircraft are fitted with pilot relief tubes which is a funnel attached to a flexible tubing that vents overboard during flight.
So one day, Ensign Smug returns from his flight to write up a 'gripe' he found on the A-7E tactical jet he'd flown.
Write Up: "Pilot relief tube discharge line is too short."
Sign-off: "Checks O.K. by enlisted man."
Reminds me of the one: "The only effect Viagra has on Navy pilots is they get taller."

Yeah, I remember that one.Reminds me of the one: "The only effect Viagra has on Navy pilots is they get taller."

I’ll claim this is a video meme because off the way the lyrics are presented. This is my favorite song, by one of my favorite songwriters, Guy Clark. If your eyes are still dry at the end-you have no soul. 
@grampamark love that song.
Reminded me of the time about 20 years ago. I was an adult leader on a Scout trip to Colorado. We were out on a 5 day high adventure and after a free rapel down a cliff face climbed back up. When one of the boys is running as fast as he can towards the cliff edge.
About 10 feet away and 15 feet or so down from the edge was one of those little rock fingers with about a 10 yard top.
Im screeming for him to stop. He jumps and lands it. But skids darned near to the edge on the other side. Then looks at me and says " now how am i going to get back". After cussing him out I threw him an anchor and a 150 foot rope. Hoping it was long enough. He made it.
When he got back to the group i shook him till both our teeth rattled.
Made for a good story. But scared the p#$$ out of me.
Hes like, what? I made it.

When I was in scouts we had a sailing class on lake Michigan with a younger troop. During a break in the lesson antics ensued, some of the other boys tempting fate when all of a sudden one idiot jumps up on the gunnel, performs some karate and then attempts a somersault into the water; he slipped and whacked the back of his head on the way down. He was okay just a bit shook, I reached for an anchor to toss him but scout master threw him a life preserver.
Still wonder how I would have explained it to mom if I came home minus a little brother.
Always trust your cape.
There is, or was; I couldn’t find it today, an even better video of that song. It was posted by a guy whose father was trying to teach himself to fly a powered parachute. There were several scenes of him trying and failing. At the end of the song, with the words “…he did not know he could not fly. So he did” the guy made it off the ground and flew away. One of the coolest things I’ve ever seen on the ’net.
Happy St. Skeletor's Day.
Some guys are not afraid of living out their fantasies. At around 23:50, Greg Norman explains his obsession with hand spearing a mountain lion.
He's flat out nuts. Life style of the rich and deranged.
All-hands meetings are bad enough, but this is torture...
Toe beans!!
Only 3 places?
Don't let my wife know things like that exist.
Another advantage of kegging- no evidence left behind.
Oh, that's a counter. I was racking my brain trying to figure out why you'd want/need a combination lock on your bottle opener.
I want so badly to add one of these weird cats to my kitty committee.
