well it is better than my time in the Navy!! I was told as a boot shortly after joining my ship(MM Engine room) to go ask BT1 for a BT Punch. Being they were working on a pump trying to get a taper pin out it made sense to me... I went and asked... I had a bruise on my chest for 3 weeks!! He didnt hold back!!
Thats the school of hard knocks!! kids learn faster that way!!
LOL! I’ve heard of the BT punch when I was in the Navy.
Did you ever get sent looking for relative bearing grease?
Back in army aviation, we used to send them for a hover bearing. Little did I know that tech supply actually made up a doohickey and gave it to the guy I sent. Needless to say, I was dumbfounded but recovered quickly. I told him that it didn’t have a tag so we couldn’t use it. Sending a guy to the airfield commander for flight line and rotor wash only happened once.
The Cav in Uijongbu would send their acft to us at Casey for a phase inspection. They had “Mad Dog Sir” stenciled on the vertical fin. We changed it to “Eat Dog Sir.” Never heard back.
