Found this on a yank site.

-THE IMAGE OF RANK-
A GENERAL: LEAPS TALL BUILDINGS IN A SINGLE BOUND, IS MORE POWERFUL THAN A LOCOMOTIVE, IS FASTER THAN A SPEEDING BULLET, WALKS ON WATER, AND GIVES POLICY TO GOD.

A COLONEL: LEAPS SHORT BUILDINGS WITH A SINGLE BOUND, IS MORE POWERFUL THAN A SWITCH ENGINE, IS JUST AS FAST AS A SPEEDING BULLET, WALKS ON WATER IF THE SEA IS CALM, AND TALKS TO GOD.

A LIEUTENANT COLONEL : LEAPS SHORT BUILDINGS WITH A RUNNING START AND A FAVORABLE WIND, IS ALMOST AS POWERFUL AS A SWITCH ENGINE, IS FASTER THAN A SPEEDING B-B, WALKS ON WATER IN AN INDOOR SWIMMING POOL, AND TALKS TO GOD “IF” A SPECIAL REQUEST IS APPROVED OF.

A MAJOR : BARELY CLEARS QUONSET HUTS, LOSES TUG OF WAR WITH LOCOMOTIVES, CAN FIRE A SPEEDING BULLET, SWIMS WELL, AND IS OCCASIONALLY ADDRESSED BY GOD.

A CAPTAIN: MAKES HIGH MARKS WHEN TRYING TO LEAP BUILDINGS, IS RUN OVER BY LOCOMOTIVES, CAN SOMETIMES HANDLE A GUN WITHOUT INFLICTING SELF-INJURY, CAN DOG-PADDLE, AND TALKS TO ANIMALS.

LIEUTENANT: RUNS INTO BUILDINGS, RECOGNIZES LOCOMOTIVES TWO OUT OF THREE TIMES, IS NOT ISSUED AMMUNITION, CAN STAY AFLOAT IF PROPERLY INSTRUCTED, AND TALKS TO WATER.

A SUB LIEUTENANT: FALLS OVER DOORSILS WHEN TRYING TO ENTER BUILDINGS, SAYS, “LOOK AT THE CHOO-CHOO”, WETS HIMSELF WITH A WATER PISTOL, AND MUMBLES TO HIMSELF.

AN NCO: LIFTS BUILDINGS AND THEN WALKS UNDER THEM, KICKS LOCOMOTIVES OFF THE TRACK, CATCHES SPEEDING BULLETS IN HIS TEETH AND CHEWS THEM, AND FREEZES WATER WITH A SINGLE GLANCE. HE IS GOD!!
