Sea story..
Once about 30 odd years ago, I was part of a BLT.
Well, as I was an fng, I was put on mess duty at the CPO's mess. Now as a rule senior ncos, like senior officers, have seen it all, and are not hard to get along with as long as you do your job...but.. I was told to make coffee and so off I went. Well, the pot looked like it had not been cleaned since WWll so I got some soap and steel wool and polished it inside and out....this I shortly found out was NOT done. Some of those old Chiefs and Gunnies had an amazing command of the English tongue. : ) karl Last edited by KARL THE GRUNT; 09-08-2007 at 06:30 PM. Reason: spelling |

Karl - as I'm sure you are aware now, you scrubbed out the best part of shipboard coffee!

The CPO in charge was so incredulous at the sheer folly of such an act that that he fired me from the CPO mess. It was the only time I ever got kicked off mess duty. !!!! karl |
