US Navy Rules: 1. Go to Sea. 2. Drink Coffee. 3. Deploy Marines

Hmm. I seem to remember quite a bit about cleaning the bilge and grumbling about khaki oppressors (especially if they made you clean the bilge). I don't remember much about deploying Marines, but that might just be because I was on a submarine. I don't think Marines would like being deployed by submarine.

Each of our new SSGNs carry 66 Navy/Marine SOF peeps. Don't worry, the personnel hatch has bright markings so we can get them back after ops.

They missed the number one rule of the Navy. If it moves salute it, if not paint it gray.

I do-six ships out of my seven had hull numbers that started with "L".

I thought that was what torpedo tubes were for... ;-)

Actually, another Navy rule I heard was "if it moves, salute it, if it doesn't move, paint it."
