Not only is that funny, it's horrifying to know that these are the same people that are out defending the country.

Its funny just to think how pissed off the maintenance guys get after getting complaints that are so ignorant.

lol, thats hilarious. Its even more frightening considering the US has what may be considered as the most powerful Army/Air Force/Marines/whatever u wanna call it, in the world. Wonder what a Canadian Jet Log would look like... o yea, we havent discovered jets yet

This doesnt happen in civil aviation. Having worked as an engineer at an airline ( http://www.flybeas.com ) for the first two years of my career I can assure you that comments like this do not get written down. Verbal comments get made, yeah.

'unable to replicate fault' or similar might get written in response to an ambiguous comment.

I can't speak for the military, but with most pilots being officers and most groundcrew writing tech log responses being squaddies I would doubt it very much, unless the guys know oneanother very well.
