Thanks Chief... was created by otisptoadwater

A Petty Officer Second Class, a First Class, and a Chief are off the ship together for lunch. While walking to their favorite pub they come upon an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out in a puff of smoke. The Genie says, “I can only grant three wishes, so I can give each of you just one.”

“Me first!” says the Petty Officer Second Class. “I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, a beautiful woman at my side and not a care in the world.” Poof! He’s gone.

“Me next!” says the First Class. “I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of pina coladas, and a beautiful woman.” Poof! He’s gone too.

“You’re next,” the Genie says to the Chief. The Chief cracks a nasty smile and says, “I want those two idiots back on the ship and turning-to, right after lunch.”

I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

That's another good one. Just doesn't spark any memories. My career had a severe shortage of Genies.

I still think the uniform change was stupid. You?

I'm not a fan of the new uniforms across all of the branches of the DoD, too many different utility uniforms. All of those different uniforms can't result in cost savings. I get the need for theater appropriate uniforms but when you are out at sea and most of the time not on a weather deck what is the need for camouflage?

Or on a weather deck. If I went over the side the last thing I want to have on is Cammie's.

If it is some kind of close inshore operation I think the ship would be seen long before a sailor on deck, even if he was in dress whites.

LOL! Be careful what you wish for...and who you wish in front of! tongue:

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
