I almost forgot about this one..

For a year while in the navy I lived in the barracks, I ended up being forced to be roomates with this young black guy (I was 26 he was 19). This was the first time he had been away from mommy and boy did it show. Some of the things I remember that he would do (remember this was 13 years ago).

1. He would suck his thumb constantly.

2. He would get up early in the morning for work and get off around 2pm. He would then turn on the heat and crawl under a blanket to take a nap. Now you have to understand we were stationed if Florida and this was the middle of the summer. 100f outside and he has the heat on!

Thats all I can remember right now but I'm sure there is more.

Hopefully, the Navy made a man out of him!

While I was in the Navy, I was on a det to AUTEC (Andros Island, Bahamas) and was assigned to a room with one other guy. We worked 12 hour shifts while there and he and I just happened to be on opposite shifts.

I know this doesn't sound bad because it essentially meant I had a room to myself. However, one day I got back from work and walked into the worst stench I've ever been around--and that's saying something considering the times at sea with the resident stink-master (there's always one) who had never heard of showers, soap, or deodorant.

My roomate had gone snorkeling and captured a sea urchin which he put in a cup and left in the un-airconditioned room. Although I immediately threw his prize (cup and all) into the dumpster outside, the smell remained to some degree for the rest of the det. For all I know, some of that stink may still remain now, 14 years later.
