I well remember the time around '70 when during a hurricane I ended up
in a corner of the wardroom with a chair on top of me.



I used to leave a plumb bob hanging from the center of the calibration lab
on USS Everglades (AD-24), hung from an overhead rafter. Permanently
painted on the rubber matting under it were circles calibrated ever 5
degrees so you could see the pitch and roll angle of the old round bottom
ship....or the list caused by shifting, moving loads at the dock.

Some just couldn't stand to watch that plumb bob while the deck they were
on rotated around it....hee hee....

I always dropped by sick bay and got a bottle of Dramamine before we went
to sea, absorbing the verbal and visual abuse from the medical and other
personnel in the process. Then, immune from sea sickness, I'd go stand in
line at sick bay eating greasy sardines in front of them if it were rough
at sea....paybacks are hell.
