Boats, you keep those sea stories coming! Love the one about the uniform!
I too had a few problems with a zero or two. One was at NAS Memphis, me the lowly AR told a commander that he could not open a hanger bay door after 1800 for security reasons. Well, zero wanted to "air out" his birds and opened the doors. Very shortly the Jar Heads arrived, and mr zero was off to tell the base CO why he opened the doors.
Other stories about fly boys who think they have 360 vision while strapped to there air craft. One dope didn't follow directions and wound up in a cat walk. Others had to explain why they came up on power and blew guys all over the deck..
