A Seaman saying, "I learned this in Boot Camp..."

A Petty Officer saying, "Trust me, Sir..."

A Lieutenant JG saying, "Based on my experience..."

A Lieutenant saying, "I was just thinking..."

A Chief chuckling, "Watch this schit..."

LOL, good stuff. Here are 5 things that are just dangerous!

A torpedoman that plays with explosives.

An a-ganger with an idea.

A rich SK.

A chief with no coffee.

The captain’s daughter.

So's the damned cup.

You have to be able to add water and get a cup of coffee. Besides, I figure whatever is in the coffee will kill the bad stuff.

When I was cranking, if a chief pissed me off, somehow or another his coffee cup ended up washed about a week later. Oooooh I sure heard some screaming about that. Good thing thing they never found out it was me

Gotta catch the Red Ball Express

My crew knew that if I picked up the 1MC and said: "This is the Captain" - nothing good was likely to come next...particularly if we were scheduled to head for the barn.

An 'A" Ganger working on something electrical.

But it's always interesting to watch. Just don't lockwire around an electrical socket!

I have some 500 kcm ground wire left over from a recent job - that'd be good for an A-ganger to start with, dontcha think?

I was more amazed that the wire went up in a nice little flame, than about how much my arm throbbed.

The hard part was trying to explain it to the EMC with a straight face.

Try telling the pilot there isn't enough fuel for him to get his hours in during the month. If you want to see somebody cry.

I remember when I was cranking and one of the fellow cranks wanted a day off so he thought he would wash the cheifs coffee cups to get some points. Our CMC saw them first, that was funny.


Heres a couple other dangerous things:

Maybe an SK with smokes after the store runs out.

Engineers taking showers while the rest of the ship is on water hours!

Or as our CHENG told me after watching me shoot skeet off the fantail, "Petty Offcier Adams, your a dangerous person, and snipe that can shoot."

How about a singnalman who is dyslexic.

10. AN A-GANGER THAT CAN ACTUALLY READ.
9. A MECHANIC WITH ANYTHING ELECTRICAL,
8. THE 3" LAUNCHER AND ANYTHING THAT GOES IN IT.
7. THE COB (NUFF SAID).
6. ANY TIME A LT SAYS " I WAS JUST THINKING..."
5. AN ENSIGN WHO SAYS " BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE....."
4. ANY OF THE UNENLIGHTENED GROUP KNOWN AS NONQUALS.
3. A SONAR SUP WHO SAYS " TRUST ME, IT'S BIOLOGICS"
2. A SKINNY MS
1. ANYBODY SAYING " HEY WATCH THIS S*** !"

A skinny MS...Thats a good one. Ours were all on the fatboy program. Fatboy is PC isn't it?

Not anymore, we dont want to hurt anyone's feelings so we call it FEP (Fitness Enhancement Program)....

Back in my day, the most dangerous thing you could hear was "Wake up HT1 beacuse..(fill in the blank)". I really disliked being disturbed during my slumber.

But my instructor in "A" school said---fill in the rest.

The sngle most frightening thing I ever heard...."What's this thing do?" from an FT.

"I know how this works" from a Midshipman

When I was in Iwo Jima (LPH-2) if we went down to dinner and were served steak and lobster, we were ASSSURED that there would be a forthcoming 1MC announcement that began "Gents, this is the Captain"

During a maintenance check:
3rd class PO: "You know what you're doing?"
airman: "not really"
....

Ever notice how many times the berthings other than Engineering would fill up with Waste Water, CHT, etc. But never Engineering.
