Same poo poo happens in civilian world too, make no mistake. Only if they get caught they can sometimes get fired. Or you can just walk away.

I enjoyed the time I spent in Japan, because unlike other dudes on my boat I actually left the Yokosuka area.

I left Yokosuka today. Well, I don't live there anyway. But I left. Y'all missed the Penis fest in Kawasaki.

The clubs in Roppongi were pretty drat awesome. Chicks hitting on me when my girl went to the bathroom or when I went to get us drinks.

The weirdest thing that I can remember from boot camp is while the rest of the division was running laps for PT one day the RDCs had me sing Baby Got Back over the PA but as a country song. I don't begin to remember how that situation came about.

I bet you didn't fold your underwear properly.

It's a rumor from the 90s that comes back every few years when people want to complain about how soft the military was compared to when they were in and they could rip off your penisand make you eat it or w/e bullshit story they wanna make up to make themselves seem like less of a goldbricking shitbag

Supposedly this happened around 95. I heard the rumors about it happening a few months after I got out of boot but figured it was bullshit. Then one of my A-school instructors transferred to my boat in 96/97 I forget, and he told me how one of the guys in A-school pulled out a stress card he had from boot when he was yelling at him about him doing lovely on a test. I don't know if it is an accurate story because they guy loved to tell stories but there is my 'story' about it.

If there's one constant in all branches of the military, it's :clint: "back in my day we weren't coddled little human being pansies!" BSing.

So it sort of was real. But it was more of a "don't kill yourself in boot please" than a stress card.

What ship was that? I left a box of cigars out in my space once in plain view when my CO came in for a zone inspection. He opened up the can, took a couple and said my spaces looked outstanding and left.

We couldn't do angles and dangles because some system or other was boned, but we shot mad water slugs. Everybody loves the styrofoam cup trick too.

I hope you explained to them the liliputian effect.
