Here's one I learned recently and can't remember all the verses. I'm of course putting in Air Force Huah! but you could probably swap it out for any other service...

They say that in the Air Force
The pay is mighty fine
Give you a 100 dollars
And take back 99!

They say that in the Air Force
The coffee's mighty fine
Looks like muddy water
And tastes like turpentine!

they say that in the arm(oops) air force
the chow is mighty fine
a chicken jumped off the the table
and killed a friend of mine (or:and started marking time)

oh lord i wanna go,
drill sergeant (or whoever) wont let me goooooooooooooooooo hey!

they say that in the arm(damnit!) air force
the women are mighty fine
they look like an angry cougar
and dance like frankenstein

well, hope that helps you out
 
Some more stuff you can add to that one:


They say that in the Army, the *blank* is mighty *blank*
(Who said that?) <---------- (instead of repeating the line)

Hey, now I remember that middle part! We use both the chow verse and the next part but instead of drill sergeant we just say "they." I don't think I'll be using the other verse seeing as how I am a female... ;)
 
yeah, probably not a good idea, unless you want the cadre giving you funny looks and scratching their heads...

They say that in the army the women are mighty fine they promised me Boe Derak but, gave me Philis diller oh lord i want to go home but they wont let me go hooome...
