There's always some kind of explosion, from my experience, after, "Watch this shit." Actually the first time I heard a Chief say that was when my Company Commander in boot camp was going to stand up on the crossbar of his bicycle. He fell and broke his ankle. I was the first one to him. He said "Son, get me a Corpsman." It was at that moment I decided to be one.At graduation he asked me what I got classified as. I told him. He looked at me shook head and said "Cannon fodder." and walked away.I never saw him again and I'll never forget that man. SMC Jeter, a red stripper and one salty SOB.
It was a very foggy night at sea.
The skipper of a battleship saw the lights of another vessel approaching directly ahead.
He ordered his Signalman to send the following message on flashing light:
“Turn 10 degrees port.”
A flashing message came back through the fog:
“You turn 10 degrees starboard.”
Perturbed, the skipper sent his Signalman back out to send the following message:
“You turn 10 degrees port. I’m a Captain.”
A flashing message came back through the fog:
“You turn 10 degrees starboard. I’m a Seaman.”
Now the skipper was really furious. A Seaman will not talk to a Captain that way. He ordered his Signalman back out to send the following message:
“You turn 10 degrees port. I’m a battleship.”
A flashing message came back through the fog:
“You turn 10 degrees starboard. I’m a lighthouse.”
Just read some interesting statistics on corpsman.com. The most likely to faint while being given immunizations are in order of frequency, Airmen, Marines, Soldiers and last sailors. Now, this is more of a problem than you might imagine. Folks don't faint like they do in the movies. They hit the ground or furniture around them...Hard. This results in serious facial injuries such and broken noses, cheek bones etc. I suspect this is why we sailors are so pretty.

A very good thing since I had nothing good to report at this end either. :angry: Called the USPS this morning and spoke with them regarding the lack of the scan form when it was picked up. I have the receipt form from the carrier but the "new gal" did not scan the scan form as required. He said he'd talk with her about it, but there really isn't anything they can do since it wasn't insured.
I hope since its now in NH. Doc will see this tomorrow. ???
