everybody stop with the stupid questions. i just want convos where people talk shop over a fresh stoger

[The Tonya Harding of Twitter Users Creep]

did you ever say things like "I love submarines! theyre long and hard and full of seamen!" 

[cDubya]

if staff sergeant McGonigle asks if you want to fire up a dart aft by the screw, how do you say no to that?

Different rank system in the Navy. No Sgt's, or Staff Sgt's, or any of most of the other ranks. And you just go back there and shoot the crap while he smokes.

Did the skipper ever get drunk and ping the crap out of stuff?  Was it annoying?

Also does the computer always get confused and identify noises as seismic?

I was on an Ohio class. We never used active sonar. Talk about a boring job - sonar. Sitting in the dark while watching blips on a screen and listening to passive sonar. I don't know how they stayed awake.

sorry i meant petty officer 2nd mate class McGonigle

Do you just play cards to pass the time, or do you mix it up with board games like Monopoly and Sorry?

Eucre, hearts, and spades. Poker games on the weekends. There was often a continuous table going on Friday and Saturday. Corpsman ran the book.

Do you mean stogie?

[steve dave]

I bet reading a shitload of HP Lovecraft after "lights out" would scare the eff out of you on a submarine.

[Rage Against the McKee]

Did you ever try drinking the torpedo juice?

As a seaman, did you ever see men's semen in the bad person of the Navy?

Yep. You could always find someone for a game of cribbage.

I bet reading a shitload of HP Lovecraft after "lights out" would scare the eff out of you on a submarine anywhere.

I was under the impression that people only played Eucre in Steinbeck novels.  What about Canasta? Did you get down on some 'Nasta?

bad person of the Navy: Norfolk, Virginia, home of the fabled "DOGS AND SAILORS KEEP OFF THE GRASS!" sign. The sign is an urban legend ([1]), but cold shoulders from civilians persist in Navy towns. See also "NoFuck, Vagina."

As Mechanics, neither of us would have ever been 'seamen'. That's the name for an E-3, but E-3 mechanics are 'Fireman'.

Weak joke, btw Spracs. Step up.

[steve dave]

get out of here spracne 

[cDubya]

Did you ever try drinking the torpedo juice?

Negative, but it is a badge of honor for me that I could shimmy my scrawny ass down the torpedo tubes and turn around to come back. Not a simple task.

yeah, sorry.  It is pretty much the dumbest, most hackney joke possible.  I just wanted to share that I learned what bad person of the Navy was.
