When there is no work left to be done, and everything has been cleaned: "Field Day the workcenter/passageway/ladderwell/etc..."

Yep. The worst is when people try to use words in the wrong context or with the wrong pronunciation. In Public.

Not that I would ever fall into the trap of using idiom to make a point, but when I say "come see me later", you are screwed.
If the commander needs to see you, it might be good news.
If the First Sergeant needs to see you, it is NEVER good news.
