Submariners have been doing this from the beginning. Can't take some s4it, can't keep focused on keeping the thing from sinking - then get off my boat!
A few mintues of good harassment can sort out who are the girly men really quickly.
Two rules - 1. Payback is a [expletive deleted] and 2. I will exercise rule 1 at a time and place of my choosing.
Oh, rule 3. you are in this game until the day you die or get out of my life, whether you like it or not.
We has a rider from NUC who loved his Mountain Dew. The MPA instigated a little joke on him. This was back when the cans had a soldered seam. So they drill a hole in the can, drain the contents, and filled it with Listerine. Then they soldered over the hole. Next time the guy asked, “Anybody got a Mountain Dew” they tossed him the can. Damn if that guy didn’t take a big swig, swallow it, hand it to his NUC buddy saying, “Here you want some?” What a Mensch!

During my last 3 years of active Naval Reserve, I was part of the recruiting team. My main job in a maximum of 10-15 minutes was to weed out the weak, druggies, fakes and criminals to lighten the load of the people doing the full background checks. I had their test scores and their brief life history to look at. I had a few questions to start with like your welcome to the boat. It was amazing how many were weeded out in a few minutes. Shipmates did not want a cry baby with them on a ship and in a GQ situation.
