I'm far more proud of the fact that the guys I served with saw fit to call me "Doc" than I am the fact I could put "Esquire" after my name if I so chose. Marines love their "Docs". I've been treated by your compadres several times, in combat and stateside. I appreciate your service and wish you well.

The commo sergeant, being a good guy, sent him to the supply sergeant. The supply sergeant after a few moments of "checking" sent the new guy to maintenance. Almost an hour later, I began thinking the new guy was onto our snipe hunt and was somewhere screwing off. I checked with commo, then went to supply. While at supply, they get a call from the maintenance sergeant, an E7, asking for an NSN (National Stock Number) for squelch grease. The "new guy" is now a 1SG and Bronze Star recipient. To my knowledge, the E7 is still clueless. May I steal this to put on a military heavy private FB group? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a given. While I expect that permission will be given, since is is a personal experience I'd rather ask first. And the attribution would be a somewhat general, "A gentleman on a CAS forum who is a medic in an Ohio National Guard unit wrote: "(text)" along with the meme he was responding to. Memes I will blatantly appropriate without attribution as I figure that where I found them is not the point of origin. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything was either Reallocated , Reassigned, Repurposed, or Reclassified. E Division always sent our best “relocater” to underway replenishment at sea detail. “Luau Tonight ” was the call. We often ate better than the rest of the crew for a few days. Our Chef was a PO2 from Hawaii. He used an old legless popcorn popper to “grill” steak. Good memories.

Everyone else was just trying to get their crap back. Some of the responses so far: They forgot the Sound Powered Phone Batteries and an HT Punc From the token Brit: The new canteen staff at my old establishment were usually asked to make a ‘forward roll’. Back to the US: When I was in the Navy, right after boot camp, in a training squadron, I was sent for a "bucket of prop wash". While I was looking I was shown a compound that was used for cleaning propellers. I took a can of it back with me and handed it to the guy that sent me. About six months later I'm in a regular squadron and get sent for "prop wash". I was told that I could secure for the day after I got it. I borrowed a pick up truck, drove over to the P-3 hangar, snagged a can of "propeller cleaner" and enjoyed a good Lunch at their cafeteria. I got back a couple of hours later, tossed the can to the guy who sent me and left for the day. Nothing was ever said. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 A newly commissioned officer, (Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa, I was observing our new influx of recruits, who had just been issued their kilts. While waiting for the Sergeant to form the parade and ready them for inspection, a one fellow was proudly posing for a picture, for his parents. Two other troopers came up on either side of him and, each grabbing the hem of the kilt hoisted it, leaving no doubt he was Regimental. 1 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) On 12/27/2023 at 8:58 AM, Pat Riot said: This reminds me of a dipstick contractor we had doing some testing on our rail cars. He insisted his people call him “Sergeant” as he was a Sergeant in the Army. His name was Thomas. He insisted that I call him Sergeant. I did not. He got a bit perturbed that I wouldn’t. So much so that he asked the site manager to insist that myself and my crews call him Sergeant. I told his manager that this was silly and a waste of time that wasted tax dollars in the process. Then I decided that Thomas should call us, myself and veteran members of my crews, by our former ranks / ratings along with our last names. All together we represented the Navy, Marines, Army and Air Force. Thomas relented and that was the end of that nonsense. That's CAPTAIN Taylor to you, dipsh--! Or in my next military foray GUNNY will suit me just right. Edited January 27 by Forty Rod SASS 3935 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
