It was as if they were waiting for me to get in the rain locker. There were a lot of laughs as I was on the forecastle wearing nothing but a towel and a 45.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5657347751045557115.post-13417957781776162712012-12-15T10:42:17.336-08:002012-12-15T10:42:17.336-08:00Or the Oh-dark-thirty underway fires drill by FTG ...Or the Oh-dark-thirty underway fires drill by FTG to check if the Flyin' Squids were getting precoached by the command! Well, they did it to us on the Coral Sea on night and caught the entire "A" team making ready to access the fireroom from the main entrance. Stopped us all and had us show all of the things that we were suppossed to; all the while chuckling that about a third of us weren't there. <br /><br />And they were right, a third of us weren't there. They were at the emergency access, making their way down the escape ladder with a charged line and OBA's in standby. They realized it was a drill when they entered the space to hear that the fires were still lit in the boiler! <br /><br />The word went back up the line to secure the plug and bleed off the pressure. So there was only twenty feet of head pressure on the nozzle when the FTG observer in the space got hit square in the back while hearing: "Fire under control! Fire Contained! Fire out!" <br /><br />Yes, we all got chewed out. Yes, we were told that our liberty was secured. Yes, we stood at attention for a solid twenty minutes of butt chewing from the XO and the CHENG and the CMC and the DCA. And when it was all said and done and FTG had left the ship, we were assembled again by a smiling CO who gave us back some of our butts by saying: "I really wish I could have seen the look on the Commander's face when you sneaked in and soaked him!" Yup, we nailed the FTG OIC!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5657347751045557115.post-13577407249728930592012-12-14T12:28:50.327-08:002012-12-14T12:28:50.327-08:00You missed the famous "In-bound Harpoon Missi...You missed the famous "In-bound Harpoon Missile, This Is Not A Drill" followed by Condition Zebra set in less than 2 minutes. Followed by the CO, "Sorry about that, that was supposed to be 'This is a drill', my bad." But, since you set Condition Zebra so fast, how about we do it like that all the time? Of course, the argument after was if he did that on purpose or it really was a mistake.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5657347751045557115.post-58030908876799116972012-12-14T11:06:40.666-08:002012-12-14T11:06:40.666-08:00breathe, smell the fresh salt air...BONG, BONG, BO...breathe, smell the fresh salt air...BONG, BONG, BONG!
