“True Sea Story:
Reporting aboard a Navy Destroyer as an Electronics Technician. The chief is going through all the broken equipment stating how bad things are and replies, I dont know if youre married or got a girlfriend but you might as well tell her you are screwing some whore cause you aint gettin off this ship til we get this equipment up and runnin.
Now I can honestly say that that sea story is one that I believe! ROFL
That was the "short version" of the story. What made it worse is that I just transferred from a ship that had a 100% operational status.
