A sergeant in a parachute regiment regularly took part in night-time exercises. One night he was seated next to a lieutenant, fresh from Jump School. He was quiet, sad, and looked a bit pale, so the sergeant struck up a conversation. "Scared, Lieutenant?" he
asked.
"No, just a bit apprehensive," said the lieutenant.
The sergeant asked, "What's the difference?"
The lieutenant replied, "That means I'm too chicken to admit that I am scared!"

Bonus Joke:
Officer: "Soldier, do you have change for a dollar?"
Soldier: "Sure, buddy."
Officer: "That's no way to address an officer! Now let's try it again. Do you have change for a dollar?"
Soldier: "No, SIR!"
