I don't know that guy but I've worked for his replacement FCCM Meyer when he was a senior chief. He hates his home life and wouldn't let us leave until 1730 minimum daily.

It always involves sex.

Sometimes, the sex just happens to be what happens when a ship loves a buoy very much.

Yea but that's drydock, you need to make sure contractors aren't making GBS threads under your deckplates.

Also very sorry for being upset at 1730 lib call while in port and maintenance is done. Is this one of those typical navy moments when everyone starts one upping me with how lovely they had it?

To be fair, you guys were sitting in your shop playing peepee touch everyday by 10. So it's hard to feel too much sympathy.

Yea, but what's the dirt? I want to know what these guys keep doing specificly that's getting them fired.

When this guy was stationed here, he dropped his drawers in at least one meeting.

My husband relieved him upon transfer and is betting that he hit someone. But I heard through the grapevine that he was loving junior folk.

It's a federal holiday but technically the gov't doesn't give the day off. However, I don't think we ever worked that day in the AF. It looks like most of the Navy guys I work with aren't planning to work, but Top Gun/CAEWWS classes are still scheduled, so ymmv I guess.

Sticks would be a step up from our M-16s that jam every second shot firing blanks.

Some people do yell "pew pew" though

Protip they jam every second shot firing live ammo too because the dudes in the armory are loving poo poo and keep the magazines loaded and never unload them, making the magazine spring permanently compressed so it never feeds right.

(ASK) me about having to clear my weapon every 2-3 shots during a live fire exercise.

Eh the plugs on the adapter if adjustable may be too tight or too loose. Or if it's the non adjustable type they may be supplying you with the wrong strength of blanks.

Some scumbag carjacker from the local casino decided to evade police by crashing the gate last night at fort meade and hiding in a stormdrain until morning. They loving shut the place down looking for this guy, so he's pretty lucky they didn't shoot his dumb rear end when they found him.
