We were staying on a barge. While stowing my gear in a middle rack (FC2 gets some privilege!) a large body builder type of African American persuasion walks up with nothing on but a towel. He frees Willy and says "I likes white boys!" I reached in the locker and removed my Buck knife (sharp enough to separate oxygen molecules)lay the edge against him and say "For me?! The wife has been after me to get an extension!! How much can I have?" he stopped breathing for a second, then he said "You one crazy motherfucker!" I smiled and said "Remember that." We became good friends.Rey Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10012367889283331447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5657347751045557115.post-90432211990127240332015-06-08T12:15:55.526-07:002015-06-08T12:15:55.526-07:00In that scenario, the best 'gimmick' took ...In that scenario, the best 'gimmick' took at least three to pull off right on the the unsuspecting open mouthed sleeper. The same as your Max, a camera man for that 'Kodak Moment' and the third, possessing a room temperature hot dog from the galley. A quick swish in and around the sleeping shipmates open mouth and hide the hot dog behind your back as he awakens in horror for the money shot ... before he runs off spitting in search of some Scope, cussing and threatening bodily harm to everyone in site. An experience that makes the sea story rounds enough to keep even the most tired sailor awake. 40+ years ago it was funny as hell, but in today's PC correct Canoe Club would probably render an OTH discharge.

There was a marine in the next cell. He was a boot and didn't want to go back to camp Penelton. i told him to tell them he wanted to be a sailor when he got back, and they'd just send him over to the Navy side. <br />I suppose they killed him.

We changed all the clocks and watches ahead and hour. He woke up and "Gun-decked" his logs in private, while we took the time to set all the clocks backs. Of course that eraser didn't quite do the trick, but he got thru it.Jason Smithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5657347751045557115.post-7261277183477498042015-04-17T20:28:52.595-07:002015-04-17T20:28:52.595-07:00I once came close to being in the same shoes as yo...I once came close to being in the same shoes as young Seaman Junior. It was late. Balls watch I think. I was on sounding & security watch and made my pass through engineering ready to sit down for a bit. So I leaned back in a chair, kicked my feet up on the table, and closed my eyes for minute. After a few minutes something told me that I was about to have a close encounter of the worst kind. I heard the sound of a zipper along with a snicker. It was one of my shipmates trying to make a landing on my shoulder. I had see him do it once before. But I foiled his plans when I said, without even opening my eyes, "If you pull that thing out I will show you the other end of it". Everyone got a laugh out of it. As for me, I made sure to never try and catch some shuteye in engineering again.Chris Brownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5657347751045557115.post-35845396985072335232015-04-17T20:09:48.557-07:002015-04-17T20:09:48.557-07:00JUst like the old saying "Oh yeah no balls to...JUst like the old saying "Oh yeah no balls to put it in my hand" next thing you know you getting a hand guided tour of the ship one CVN65 Danny "B"https://www.blogger.com/profile/07332797633393751403noreply@blogger.com
