True story now E-6 and below march. 2nd and 1st classes don't have to be in the formation and can just walk beside the group but they still have to muster.

I starting re-reading Thomas Pynchon's "V", and the US Navy small boat bits in it are so full of bizzare, stupid, inane things that it screams legit US NAVY enlisted experience to me.

Also I haven't read it but My Nuclear Family is about my boat, and I'm apparently in it. The guy who wrote it is a tremendous rear end, but I haven't heard that it's particularly inaccurate.

All I remember about Down Periscope is Kelsey Grammer bombast, the chef making whale sounds for some reason, and the skintight outfit on that redheaded female officer.

That was one time I truly relished being an O. loving marching in Pensacola summer heat 100 yards and having to wait for every swinging dick to get in formation before you depart anymore? Yea, no thanks.

Could be worse though...when I was there, Army guys at their tech school (A-school equivalent) were doing heat acclimatization and walking around in full body armor with kevlar helmets and M4s...

accurate depictions of underway (not sure about the sub), though the female's outfit would be skin tight due to morbid obesity

Its a farcry from Navy but Generation Kill is the most accurate depiction of the Military. As a civilian you'd probably think the crude dialog is exaggerated

The Caine Mutiny is a pretty accurate depiction of SWO COs and how nobody outside the ship will ever believe it's that bad.
