WOW! That is quite the video and true on so many different levels. I am sure most of us can relate in some way or other.

Hitler? Who said anything about Hitler?

There are a bunch of different videos out there like this depending on the service. This is one of the better ones.
Looks someone had a lot of time on their hands before they lost PED privliges!

These are the kind of things that make me proud to be a submariner.

Watch a conversation like this take place with the XO, WEPs, COB, EDMC, MTCS, LPOs and more when the missile deck wasn't cleared topside and secured below before commencing a missile load.
What a fun video...parts of it actually give you a slap on the back of the head to make sure the job is getting done properly to avoid conversations like this. I couldn't help but laugh at some of it.

Here it is, 2045 Mountain Time. I laughed out loud. You have made my day.

I knew that Chief...he was on the Skate and sat my qual board.
11/03/2011 10:03 PM
I remember a few bad days like that!

I farted I laughed so hard. Made me think of Chuck, Big Daddy, and El Jeffa
11/04/2011 12:57 AM
HAHAHAHA.. That's great!

If you can't name at least three people who fit that description and demeanor, you were never on a boat. Period.
I've still got tears coming down my face from laughing so hard.

Awesome blog. I enjoyed reading your articles.

I remember looking into the wardroom and seeing our CO going off like this to the Department Heads. It happened about once a week. I don't know where he found the energy for the fury.
11/04/2011 9:28 AM
The, "Hitler Doesn't Make Chief" is a good one, too.

Danny - Which do you like better??

I remember our DCA having a thing for the Captain's Daughter. Classic A-ganger's in trouble video. Hitler's Chief results - HILARIOUS!!
11/04/2011 3:12 PM
Curt,
Although I like the Chief one, I have lived large portions of the ALCPO nightmare. One of my boys was married to a Commodore's youngest daughter also.
Joel, thanks for the couple of gut-busters.

wow this seems like it is me with the idiots i work for! I am glad others see the world through the same eyes.

"At least he's not yelling about women on submarines his time."
11/05/2011 12:45 AM
We once had an MMFA tapping the XO's ex-wife. I'd like to see that discussion in this format. Joel - thanks for sharing. I'm tearing up.
11/05/2011 5:03 AM
OK the Hitler doesn't make Chief thing wasn't nearly as funny, except for the "rebound slut" thing.
11/05/2011 12:09 PM
Okay, someone deserves a NCM for being so creative. I blew Budweiser over my damned screen it was so funny.
Do they show fun shit like this on the boats nowadays? Maybe on the mess deck? You need this kind of meaningless bullshit in order to relax a few moments and have a laugh with each other.
11/05/2011 8:27 PM
This was a funny video. This is so true!!!!
11/06/2011 5:56 PM
Screw A-gang. Nuke waste, the whole lot of them.
11/06/2011 9:52 PM
11/06/2011 9:52 PM ANON,

Not all of us are nuke waste. Some of us went to the most useless A school know to man MM BT A school int great lakes.

Hagar, This video has your words ringing true, but the mannerisms remind the guys who were on FL before you got there of a certain MMCS. He looked, acted, talked just like the fear (fuhrer) we called him. "We're A-gang, we take logs and fix shit!" (your favorite MM2, now LT SWO)
11/07/2011 7:25 PM
"We're A-gang, we take logs and fix shit!"
D, If you email Pepe, he has my
email address. I know the POS you are talking about.
Joel, 12 or 13 years ago, this
fine, then young lad replied that to
Stratcom when he asked what we did,
LOL.

Not sure if our favorite nub 2nd/lt swo can figure out how to email me or if he even knows who pepe is. we might have to learn him again, he did become a surface puke after all.
11/08/2011 2:17 PM
Other than the white letters on white background that makes some of the lines hard to read, this vid is PERFECT! Who hasn't felt that way at some point?
11/09/2011 6:31 AM
Hagar,
How are the LBFMs treating you?
Hough
11/10/2011 10:56 PM
Hough, I'm a married somewhat respectable man now. I don't get to
travel to the PI anymore. The wifey takes good care of me.
It's crazy when you have to grow up isn't it? UGH.
So, I enjoy my menudo, lumpia, and adobo at home, while sharing with a two year old girly.
Life is good after you get the
blue card, ain't crap for stress!!
