We also sent them for Relative Bearing Grease.

The TTY machines in the commcenter had 1/2" plastic tubes to carry the chad from the tape to the little bin. We called them fallopian tubes. We'd send the new guys to sickbay to get replacements.

A Navy E3 is called a Seaman. We'd call over to the Wave barracks and have them page "Seaman Stains". Worked every time...

I was sent for "bulkhead remover, spray type." Figured it out about halfway across the hanger, spent the next 20 minutes munching a candy bar and taking a smoke break, then went back and told them I couldn't find any.

Laughs all around, but they didn't know until later it was on them. ;)
