Blue Water Navy

The Navy Chief .....
[]


The Navy Chief noticed a new seaman and barked at him,
"Get over here! What's your name sailor?"
"John," the new seaman replied.
"Look, I don't know what kind of bleeding-heart pansy crap they're teaching sailors in boot camp these days,
but I don't call anyone by his first name," the chief scowled.
"It breeds familiarity, and that leads to a breakdown in authority. I refer to my sailors by their last names only;
Smith, Jones, Baker, whatever. And you are to refer to me as 'Chief'. Do I make myself clear?"
"Aye, Aye Chief!"
"Now that we've got that straight, what's your last name?"
The seaman sighed. "Darling, My name is John Darling, Chief."
"Okay, John, here's what I want you to do ...."

I LOVE JOKES LIKE THAT WITH A KIND OF "SNEAK" PUNCH LINE. MY LAST NAME IS GROSS, DIDN'T HAVE ANY TROUBLE IN GRADE SCHOOL, DIDN'T HAVE ANY TROUBLE IN HIGH SCHOOL, DIDN'T HAVE ANY TROUBLE IN COLLEGE..... BUT THOSE DIs IN BOOT CAMP HAD A FIELD DAY!

good one ! Barbee

As a Chaplain I sometimes find myself limited on the "stories" i can repeat.

As to the Navy, the last name is Lewis, I picked up "Louie"or Lou in HS sports mostly and it carried on through Boot then on into the fleet.

Peace,
