You forgot to paint an x on the roof above your bedroom and pay somebody to drop chains on the x all night long.

I slept beneath the catapult stops on an aircraft carrier. Whenever they launched an aircraft the catapult would slam against the stops so it sounded like someone was slamming a pallet on the floor above you. I could go to sleep between launches and never hear them.

That is a good one, I was a 1LT on LPH-12 USS Inchon, most of the O,s were on the O-2 level below the flight deck. The CO was not really liked by just about everybody, during watch at night all the troops knew where his stateroom was so it just happened that a lot of chains were dropped or dragged there. It could explain why he was torqued off most of the time.
