During the height of the recruiting crisis, the Chief of Staff of the US Air Force took matters into his own hands. He ordered an open house at a local base, determined to find new talent himself. As he stood proudly beside a sleek F-15 fighter jet, a pair of twin brothers approached. The general warmly introduced himself and turned to the first young man, asking what skills he could offer. “I’m a pilot,” the young man stated confidently.
Thrilled, the general immediately ordered his aide to enlist the young man on the spot, processing all paperwork immediately. With one twin whisked away, the general turned to the remaining brother, expecting another stellar answer. “What skills can you bring to the Air Force?” he asked. The second twin replied plainly, “I chop wood.” The general was taken aback. “Son, we don’t need wood choppers in the Air Force,” he explained, almost laughing. “This is the 20th century!” Undeterred, the twin simply shrugged and said, “Well, you hired my brother!”
