I don't think that's Boot Camp. Their trousers are bloused. They don't, (didn't anyway), blouse their trousers until they graduate.

The Navy still uses a gonculator?

 

That's World War II technology.

They probably just need to recalibrate the hemulator in the framastat.

Not a meme, but I just came across this in the book and I thought it was funny enough it needed to be shared.

 

 

Most of these Marines were pink-cheeked lads just out of boot camp. At boot camp, for reasons known only to the Marines, the first thing they teach the recruits is how to inject a word rhyming with “duck,” with proper blasphemous modifiers and amplifying phrases, into every declarative statement they make, except when speaking to military superiors directly. It may be that this is done to safeguard the boys’ morals. Such language is apt to get you thrown out of any well-run whorehouse in the western world, and most of these lads are too young to be patronizing such places.

The Janitor when I was in high school was also drove the Vo-Tech bus. One day we were BSing between the college and the school and I asked him about job interviews. He said that on the application for his first post military job for work experience he put down that he had 4 years experience working for the largest janitorial service in the world.   

During his interview he was asked what company. He replied US Navy.  After the guy quit laughing he told Frankie that he was hired.

In a pig's ass.  

 

We are busy fighting and preparing to fight and use the Navy for some long range artillery jobs and other fire support.  They also perform certain admin functions, mass supply, and medical and religious services.  They do that because real Marines and some corpsmen and ladies face the tiger on his own turf and often by the tiger's rules.

 

Remember that every Marine is a rifleman...and ever shall that be.

 

Semper fi, Marines.

The ship appears to be a Spruance class destroyer. These ships had sea water compensated fuel storage tanks. Basically, as you used fuel from the storage tank, that fuel was replaced with sea water. Sea water is heavier than fuel so the ship sat LOWER in the water as you used up fuel. And they were very smooth. 20 foot seas were nothing. 

Fond memories.

That's a Ticonderoga-class cruiser -- check the SPY-1.

 

Since the Tico hull was based on the Spru-can's, it's likely the compensation was the same. Never was on a Tico, but I've been told they didn't ride as well as the Spruance (Tico had more weight in the superstructure).

I believe you are correct. 

I was on the DD-965 and DD-992, each was about 2 hrs old when I went aboard.  The 965 was much faster due to radar absorbing materials placed on the superstructure of the 992.

But, I'll take either of them compared to the ride of a FFG.

I made it 18 years before I got sea sick. I'll leave it there.

That made me remember.

 

I'm currently reading a Casca novel. For those who don't know of him, Casca was the legionnaire who put the spear in Jesus's side. And Jesus cursed him. He would remain as he was until Jesus comes back.

 

World War II has just ended and he has joined the French Foreign Legion. He and a bunch of other recruits are put on a ship and sent from France to North Africa. Most of the other recruits get seasick, but one of the benefits of his curse is it doesn't happen to him. So he helps out his fellow legionaires. By eating their rations, since they obviously could not do it themselves. And you shouldn't let good food go to waste.
