the guy bad enough that NCIS (not a bit like the TV "NCIS&quot got involved they were confined to barracks for a week or so while Navy investigators nailed down the guilty parties. They were even marched to chow by Marines with M16s.

The CC claimed he was just telling sea stories and he had no intention to get that poor swab whupped.

You remember the difference between a sea story and a fairy tale? A fairy tale starts out, "Once upon a time ..." and a sea story starts out, "No shit, this really happened ......"

Speaking of squats, one of my room mates at Snipe's Castle had been born short some ligatures in his knee so that when he was compelled to keep doing squats until he could do them right in boot, it trashed both his knees and he was disabled out of the Navy. He was sitting in A school until his orders and discharge caught up with him.

I loved the Navy and learned a lot. The most important three things were: Go along, get along. Always follow the rules and there are rules that allow you to break the rules. Don't listen to a 'sea lawyer'.

Another PO1 also taught me to accidentally drop the log book page into oil if I ever got in a jam because we logged in pencil and oiled pencil can't be erased.
