Marines on the USS Frederick “found a way” back in the day. Just saying....

The happiest shipmate I ever saw was one who opened up a package and in it was a six pack of Milwaukee BUD. LOL

I was on the quarterdeck of the USS Cleveland 30 years ago, in Hong Kong, with a bottle of whiskey in my bag. The duty NCO had me open the bag, clearly saw the contraband, and waved me through.

Our supply guys made “bilge wine” in the hold of the Frederick. I guess it wasn’t too good, but good enough.
