Holy Geebus, this is like ground hog day with all these sea stories. I always enjoyed the rocking and rolling, it's when the bottom drops out, where it gets interesting. The dead calm seas at night with a full moon, is also something to experience. Lots of great Naval experience on this site. The two best calls you'll ever hear are........."the ship is moored" and "liberty call".

The worst call was: "Revellie! Revellie! All hands heave out and trice up!"

I did a fast rope insertion on a sweeper I think, had a big ass crane at back we had to avoid. The only time I delt with them.

Man overboard on the carrier was ridiculous. These dumbasses would throw a chemical light over and here we go. We'd go from the rack to airborne in less 15 minutes. Talk about pissed.

We had a crane on the fantail of the Minehunters and a crane on the 01 level starboard side. Both for the Mine Neutralization Vehicle(MNV). Might be what you're thinking about.

Oh do I have stories on that....

Might that involve a visit or two to sick bay? lmao

Don't get me started on the Philippines and Thailand.

Those were my first two ports on my first deployment in ‘86. Caught the clap twice and spent half of my WESTPAC check on punani.

Yup. The gift that kept on giving.

Lets see if I can recall........

Corpsman: What's the problem?

Me: It's ma dick, it's leaking.

Corpsman: I'll give you a shot, in the meantime, keep your lance in your pants and your rocket in your pocket.

Pretty much. After that we stuck to playing SMILES.

I recollect the penicillin shot in the ass, and my Johnson having a runny nose for a week.

HAHAHA..Right! I stood watch on the bridge and was the BMOW. Those are easy to say but when it comes time to call a man over board or conduct fire drills it gets a little more interesting. I actually dreamt I was back in the Navy last night, just remembered that. Was going through the transfer to a new duty station blues and how I had to uproot my wife and her get a new job and such...too funny.

LOL. I had a dream a couple of weeks ago that I had returned to the Navy (same carrier) for a 2-week stint. I had to go to NYC harbor (?) to catch the ship. When I boarded, I had some trouble finding the print shop that I worked in. Finally made it, but I felt like a fish out of water trying to "catch up" for my duties. Weird dream!

I have the Shipover for life dream, along with the 4 credits shy of a Degree and the stolen Cobra dream. All of which never happened. My brain likes to **** with me.

Smiles, such a wholesome game.

Not sure we could explain it correctly without getting banned.

Crazy. I still have that credits shy of degree dream.

And the threat that if you came back with another case you could lose a rank.
