Just for grins,and without a Googled copy and paste,what have our military vets and/or currently serving folks heard during their military careers that cracked you up and have stayed with you through today?
Slang,one-liners,insults,jargon related to infantry,pilots,grunts,etc. are all fair game.
The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.

If you ain't Air Cav you ain't chit! And 'they' say "If you are Cav you are chit!" We reply "Yeah, but our chit smells good!" ---------- You can tell a tanker pilot by his ass, it's 40 inches wide and gets bigger every ride! --------- There are no chopper pilots in the States. They're all on foreign shores makin' mothers out of whores, there are no chopper pilots in the States.

Most that come to mind from way back then are unprintable. Did know a sergeant that when speaking of eff-ups would say, "I wouldn't trust him with a cold dog turd."
That one stuck. And it fits right in this political season.

I'll buy if you fly!
To new squids on the ship:
Go see the engineering CPO and get some batteries for the sound powered phones.
Run down to the boiler room and get a bucket of steam.
One you had best think about before answering. When you were the new guy in our shop.

Whenever we were asked if we were Airborne, we were instructed to respond, "You don't ask a man if he's 'Airborne!' If he is, he'll tell you! If he isn't, don't embarrass him!
A favorite for those who were suspected of being incompetent, "He couldn't pour piss out of a combat boot if the instructions were written on the heel!"
And my personal favorite, "Someone ruined a perfectly good a--hole when they put teeth in your mouth!"

Our Brigade (3/505 82 ABN) mess section had the motto - "Death from within!"
"You are as f****d up as a Chicken noodle sandwich!"
"I'm not screwing this goat; I'm just holding the tail."
"This mission is so screwed up the wind doesn't blow - it sucks!"
"Move out and draw fire!"
"Buddy is on half the word."
"What kind of bird doesn't need wings?"
