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!

Right up there with "Go ask the Chief for the keys to the plane" and "Go ask the LT where you can find the Floping Tubing"

On the smoke deck of a DDG a Sailor asks what the noise coming from the exhaust vent is. Oh no, the MPA needs to blow! Quick run into CCS ask them if you can blow the MPA. (Overheard this one being told to Midshipman...) (Thought I posted this but couldn't find it)
