I had a kiddy pool in my barracks room. I was smoked for 1 hour and had to do the running man all weekend. I was the soldier who made No kiddy pools in the barracks rule during a Safety brief lol

Didn’t stay in one long, but when I did a room inspection of a sailor I failed them after walking in for the overwhelming disaster it was. Next day Chief received a complaint and to squash the complaint another inspector came with me for verification. Sailor claimed room was cleaned, so we proceeded to head back. Everything was just swept under a bed. Personal favorite part was a half eaten egg McMuffin molding for what looked like a few weeks in the corner. Needless to say, Chief squashed the idea of me being to harsh. All other sailors were on point, so sadly this is all I have for story time.

I could tell many stories. Best was a base CSM that arrived into my ER with a softball stuck in his butt. Can’t say when due to NDA.

Being semi permanent POOW, I got to see, (and usually deal with) the usual fare of quarterdeck antics. (Drunks puking on the quarterdeck being the most common). Another common occurrence would be the FNG being convinced that he had to stamp his name on his mattress, and it had to be done on the quarterdeck with a watchstander as a witness. So every once in awhile some kid would show up on the quarterdeck dragging his mattress behind him. There was also a rubber band fight that I may or may not have been involved in one day when our LPO started sniping them at us out of boredom, and we started shooting them back. It was kinda hard explaining all the welts to Chief.

During AIT at Ft. Sill, Ok. back in early 1976 one Saturday night I walked into the barracks after many beers and as I went through the laundry room next to the latrine I just happened to see a pair of boots through the drier door glass with legs attached to them and exclaim out loud "there's someone in the f----ng drier!!!", I hear a laugh coming from somewhere , suddenly the door pops open and a cloud of pot smoke rolls out as he climbs out, guy had been smoking a joint INSIDE the drier.
