Have you ever found yourself on mail buoy watch?
Ever been handed a kapok life vest and broom and told to fend off any monkeys that try to board during a Suez Canal transit?
How about being sent after the elusive ID10T that the chief needs right away?
I'd like to hear some of the other service gags run on the new guy. Let's hear em please!

Go to motor pool and get me a fallopian tube.
Go get a falacio form from your Drill SGT ( I love the reaction from this one).

It has been raining here in DFW for about 24 hours now. I just hope we don't get a warm spell in a few days and have to mow our yards... in November.

<<--- Â was a new 17yr old buck private guilty of looking for striped-paint, and a left handed crescent wrench at the motor pool during PMCS..

In boot camp we were instructed to report all sightings of submarines surfacing on the grinder. The grinder being the black top parade ground in front of the galley. I was never sure if this was a prank or just a way to know which kid was about to pass out!

PO1 (Join to see) ROFL that is good! Just for the record I didn't fall for the gags in my post. I did go looking all over for a CGU-11 until a very nice Senior Chief decided to let me off the hook and told me to write it down. Pretty embarrassing to say the least. I could have brought the stupid bird back in ten minutes had I only known!

I'm going to tell you a top secret secret. You have to lubricate wires so the electrons flow easier. Also when you turn off a switch the dead electrons fall on the floor and have to be swept up. Usually this is done during field day. But not in the reactor compartment. Then it is only done when it is open for other maintenance and somebody, usually the brand new junior officer assigned as E-Div Officer, has to do it.
As it so happened one time, our new Div Off happily went along with all these shenanigans and strange explanations, some of which can NOT be described on here because the PC police would get me. Then one day we had a major piece of equipment go down and me and my guys were troubleshooting like crazy. The DO came back aft and asked if he could help. I was like "what can you do, nub officer?" He then told me he was an Electrical Engineer. Taken back a bit, I asked why he went along with all the stuff we pulled on him. He smiled and said "you were all having such a good time, and it was fun!" He was the best division officer I ever had.
And now go put your coffee cup against the hull and listen for enemy submarines.

We had some E-2 Reservists come aboard our ship in the mid 1960's for their two week ACDUTRA. One of them came by the supply office looking for "relative bearing grease." I think the storekeeper told him he had to fill out a requisition. Maybe that was the same crew that was looking for a "left-handed monkey wrench."
