“From a Navy Journalist Back In The Day”

( Click On Picture To Enlarge )


Here's a sea story ("no shit, this really happened")

I was a navy journalist onboard an amphibious assault ship. For whatever reason, we had an USAF guy onboard, working and living with our aviation boatswain's mates for the trip back from Okinawa to Pearl Harbor.

I interviewed him for the ships newspaper, to see how the novelty of navy life struck him:

"You guys are a bunch of fucking pigs! I don't know how human beings can live like this."

This being military journalism, the quote read as "I sure gotta take my hat off to you Navy guys! You do a heck of a job under some serious conditions!"
