1. Engineer – works below decks, as in the engine room
2. a Destroyer
3. Yeoman - clerical worker
4. Kool-Aid
5. Submariner
6. Refers to a promotion to Petty Officer... "I just got my crow tacked on
yesterday."
7. a Marine
8. Candy - Snacks
9. When in port, it's where you buy your Gee dunk ... "Now hear this; the
Roach Coach is on the pier."
10. The ship is steaming at flank (top) speed
11. Chief Petty Officers Quarters
12. a Radioman
13. Sharing a bunk with another sailor; you sleep while he's on duty, and
vice-versa.
This is more common on submarines, where space used to be limited
14. ' Bend Over, Here It Comes Again' - used to infer that you've just been
'used'...
example; "I see you're back from liberty, Smith. Get into your work clothes,
I've got a job for you." Smith protests that he has the day off, but the
Chief smiles and says, "Relax, we'll make it up to you later. Besides, it's
a really cushy detail. Meet me on the fantail in ten minutes. And bring your
tool belt." As the Chief leaves, you hear John mutter, "Bohica."
15. The extreme aft part of the main deck.
16. a Sailors white hat
17. a loose thread on your dress blues, usually pointed out at inspection.
18. An officer who has been promoted up through the enlisted ranks.
19. A club for first and second class petty officers only.
20. a water fountain, or the gossip you might hear.
