This here is some Classical Crackerjack Sea Going Humor… if you take offense then get your panties out of a wad… it’s a joke!!!
We all know what a pain in the derrière it is to wake up to the Bosun Whistle at Reveille underway! Here are a few anecdotes for your pain…
Why is a low whistle better than a Bosun Whistle?
The low whistle is easier to stomp on!
What’s the difference between a snake and a Bosun Whistle in the road?
People might swerve to miss the snake!
What’s the difference between a Bosun Whistle and a trampoline?
You take off your shoes when you jump on a trampoline!
How do you get the Bosun not to play his whistle at reveille?
You shoot him!
Gentleman defined… A Bosun who knows how to blow his whistle but doesn’t!
In short, if you woke up to the song of the Bosun… you embraced the suck!!!

ReplyDeleteAhh yes. I was a BM for half my 20 years. I caused much of that pain; specially since we used to bet on who could play the call the longest and loudest.
ReplyDeleteI had one of the best twills in the dept. I would love piping the CO before "Standby for a word from the Commanding Officer" We would time each other to see how long we could blow. LOL That was a pun of course but we cracked shit jokes about ourselves before anyone else could.
DeleteCan someone please tell me what a radioman's job really was? Before they dropped that rate.
