This is a riot. You will not want to miss out on this

[connectthedots]

Thought you'd get a kick out of this.

Also:
Allow yourself ONE pastime that you can only do for ONE hour each week, insuring that you won't get any better at it.
For that Amphib carrier sailor in us all, pay a plumber to rig about 3000 of your neighbor's sewage systems to yours and wait for someone's kid to attempt flushing his sister's jacket.
Wait for public service to shut off your electricity...THEN pay it.
Break off ALL of your hot water taps.
Break off ALL of your cold water taps.
See how shiny you can make your floors with the cheapest wax you can find. When completed, strip all your floors and start over again. (Placing shoes on your dog and going to bed after laying a fresh coat of wax adds to the realism)

Put all your canned goods in the hallway & walk on top of them for the first 2 months (Med deployment).
Make a pot of coffee with apple juice; the 8K potable water is fubar, and you're really jonesin' it.
Have someome randomly pour a tablespoon of cold hydraulic fluid down your back while you're taking a dump.
Cut all the tit-shots & nude sceens from the movies, splice together --Channel fever flick.

Thanks for the morning laugh!!

A few observations:

As an officer my berthing never got down to the levels described. Of course, that's because I was in the surface Navy and never had to share a stateroom with any airdales.

The rolling and the pitching. You forgot the rolling and the pitching. You have to perform all the above activities while the floor is moving in odd directions, sometimes as much as 30 degrees in any one direction. You want real fun? Put 300 guys on a tin can, send them out in to the Atlantic in the winter for a couple of weeks, then watch them try to walk a straight line once they are back on shore.

The food has not been described in clear enough terms. Two of the weirdest things I ever saw served were, and I kid you not, green beans and gravy and sweet-and-sour hot dogs. On the other hand the Navy makes dynamite corn bread.

Dang spoiled kids got it easy today!

Don't know what hard duty is!

I was middle oar in the tenth row on bottom deck and had to sit behind A+Bert,
who complained how hard he had it when he came on board 20 years earlier.

The ankle chains were also a drag, but the weekly dousing did help a bit in getting rid of the smell.

Some nut form the TGYC kepy signing "Row, row, row yer boat," but we tossed him to the sharks.

[SERE_DOC]

Remember if you wern't GATOR NAVY You are extremely fortunate not to have to ride on something with a flat bottom, and guns that only fire sideways

[Sub-Driver]

as a former submariner you also need to store all your food in the shower, and stack boxes every where on the floor so that you have to walk hunched over. And you need to store all garbage in the fridge.

Don't forget the oddities of the "bird farms". Make sure the night check maintenance people get to sleep on th 03 level under #3 wire so they can participate in the daytime flight ops.

CLAAAAANG!!.....SCREEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!....and so on until its' time to keep the day guys awake by slinging chocks and dragging tie down chains around.
