LOL, being around the Forrestal with a lighter was as dangerous as being around the Kennedy on the bridge of a ship!

I was on the Kennedy too...
LOL...
That ship was run by Captain Jerry O Tuttle...
He came over the M1C when we departed Norfolk and said:
They call me SLUF....
I have a brig, and I keep it full...

I personally saw him get in line on the mess deck, ate what we ate, and promptly threw the entire kitchen staff in the brig...
That ship was clean, and we ate very well...
