I remember sending the pollywogs down to get the sterngate key or to the machinery room for a BT punch. Several of my BB stackers stood mail buoy watch while the other were applying baby sh** to gun mount fittings. Half the time the guns were broke-dick. Being a gator-freighter sailor, we found ourselves either doing gator squares or DIW a lot of the time. We passed a lot of time visiting the gee-dunk locker or just dicking the dog on the gun mount. After informing my men to heave out and trice up, we would go to quarters were I spent time squaring away my sailors, making sure there were no irish pennants and their marine napkins were buttoned up during inspections. If they lolly-gagged or gundecked PMS they were usually sent to NJP and if they were lucky, they only received EMI or GMT. I remember float testing a lot of gear on our way to GITMO. We stood many condition 3 watches, GQ and had just about enough time to take marine showers. I've since retired to CIVLANT and I wanna shout out to my airdale and dirt-sailor brothers. GMG1

Dream catcher,

Thanks for the trip down memory lane, I served from 84-90 USN HT2 (SW) USS Briscoe DD-977 home ported out of No**** Vagina...lol and 90% of what you said was daily on board language for this Snipe. Twidgets were sent below decks for an HT punch or 50' of gig line and new snipes in central control were sent looking for a steam hammer or a gallon of radioactive ink for the laser printer. When I was taking my at sea qualification test for ESWS the Chief Bo'sun mate had us all on the fo'castle looking aft when he asked us "where are the headlights" we searched the front of that ship for 10 minutes give or take when he said " there in the head, you ****ing polliwogs!" LMAO...
