Heard several stories bout Damage Controll School ove the
years............ The word "screaming" was in each of them..... Sounds
a bit hard core.


Unlike merchant seamen who can quit, Navy sailors don't have that option so
you can treat them as the slaves they truly are.

MY Navy was different than today. If you were to carry the garbage to the
dumpster on the pier, you either had to get into your dress uniform, ready
for inspection, or go through the paperwork motions and get a permission
slip signed by someone in authority to authorize you to walk onto the pier
in your dungarees the Navy was so ashamed of, because they actually WERE
slave's clothes.

Getting in your whites to take out the garbage was much easier.....
