“Speaking of training, I never could get those darn dungarees to work. Hell, I couldn’t even get the legs tied.”

I remember jumping off the tower in training and when I hit the water my dungarees were gone! I had to swim to the bottom of the pool to retrieve them so I could make a ‘flotation device’ out of them.

I think that tower was 40 feet high. I remember thinking “Why haven’t I hit the water yet?” So, I looked down and BAM! Right in the face. Water is hard.

Thank you for your service.

Whenever we would have “Abandon Ship Drills”, the 1MC would announce something like, “Nearest friendly land bearing 235, 350 miles”.

Which immediately reminded me of Bill Cosby.

“Ding, Noah! How long can YOU tread water?”

Riiiight.”
