If I could get a job just stripping and waxing decks, + headphones and weed, I would be setttttt

I have a friend who basically has this job plus basic engine maintenance and such. He gets to deliver boats to clients houses in the hamptons and poo poo too. In the winter he goes to tropical islands and just drinks and fucks for 3 months and then comes back and does it again. He also smokes more weed than anyone else I know.

Omfg if I get called to the Chiefs' office and told not to make jokes about dolphin rape in front of the students one more loving time I swear to god, it was like nine months ago, and all I said was that it's racist to assume that all dolphins are rapists. They students were having their own conversation about dolphin rape that I interjected moderation into and I'm never going to hear the loving end of it.

This is my new favorite post in GiP

Where might I find more battle damage pictures like that? Are there pictures of the repairs as well? That sort of thing is fascinating

I'm pretty sure Tyson makes a very accurate version of Hamsters.

They do, I used to live off those drat things as a teenager. Still buy a box of them every now and then. So, so good.

Never heard them called fried hamsters before but I'm going to start calling them that from now on.

I wonder what the biggest engine ever to fully explode was

Depending on your definition of engine, probably Chernobyl.

Jesus.

We took a 40ish degree down once. I was in maneuvering standing on the SPCP and I remember after "dive, dive" nobody said a goddamn word on the 1MC. We just hung there watching the shaft RPM meter go nuts for what felt like forever. The depth indicator had gone black and I was sure we were just mud-darting straight to the bottom. Eventually leveled out and found out one of the aft MBT vents hadn't opened. That was only the second time I thought I was about to die on a submarine.

What was the first
