Yes or No Question 2 2. Suddenly Chief Petty Officer Jones comes in, walks over to John, and says, "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 Chief Jones 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 Chief Jones leaves, you hear John mutter, "Bohica." What does "Bohica" stand for? 1. Bravo, our hour is come at last 2. Blind obedience, honest initiative, cheerful attitude 3. A Tagalog (Filipino) word for horse sh*t 4. Bend over, here it comes again Question 3 3.

John goes to the galley for breakfast and asks for the SOS. What is a SOS? 1. It’s a Sausage Omelet, Spicy 2. It’s Creamed chipped beef on toast. 3. It’s a Navy joke. SOS is international distress signal. So when you order the SOS, you know you'll end up with runny eggs (any style), greasy bacon, and burnt hash browns.. 4. It's a Navy term for “Same Old Sh*t”. Breakfast always is the same exact thing day in and day out. Question 7 7. You and Jack wait around while John changes into his dress whites.

"Come with me to the Acey-Deucy Club and we'll have a drink." What is an "Acey-Deucy" club? 1. A strip joint 2. A club for first and second class petty officers 3. 4. A bar that serves only 3.2 beer 5. A club for submarine Sailors only The Answers Answer 1 1. Is this a current active duty Navy uniform? Yes It’s for the Chief Petty Officer (E7) from the USS Constitution. USS CONSTITUTION is located in Boston and is the world's oldest commissioned warship afloat. The battle with Guerriere earned her the nickname of "Old Ironsides" USS Constitution is a wooden-hulled, three-masted heavy frigate of the United States Navy. Named by President George Washington after the Constitution of the United States of America. To become a crew of the USS Constitution is extremely hard. In fact in 18 years I don't know anyone that has earn the privilege of becoming her crew. The rules are very hard to qualify for and you are hand selected. What I tell a lot of sailors on my website is to always look "outside the box" for orders. Most sailors only look for positions within their on rating. They need to look for the specials programs, ie White House Duty, PEP duty, USS Constitution...etc The Chief Petty Officer (CPO) Note: in the question section I had to paint over the name USS Constitution so as not to give it away The Commanding Officer: The Lieutenant E6 and below: Answer 2 2. Suddenly Chief Petty Officer Jones comes in, walks over to John, and says, "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 Chief Jones 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 Chief Jones leaves, you hear John mutter, "Bohica.“ What does "Bohica" stand for? Answer: 4. Bend over, here it comes again… Sailors are quite adept at creating acronyms. A couple famous ones: • NAVY = "Never Again Volunteer Yourself.“ • MARINE = "My @ss Rides In Navy Equipment" Answer 3 3. When you get to the berthing area, the first thing you notice is how crowded it is. When you ask about this, John says: "Yeah, space is at a premium here; some the guys are actually hot-racking." What is "hot-racking?" Answer: 1. Sharing a bunk with another Sailor Conditions on Navy submarines are pretty sparse. When there are more Sailors than racks (bunks), it is a common practice to have to share a bed. It is arranged so that the two people sharing it have different watch schedules so both can get some sleep at different times. They don't sleep in the same bed at the same time, well, that’s what they tell us surface Sailors. This practice is known as "hot-racking" because when you get into bed the mattress is still warm from the previous occupant. Since Submarines are still all male (females coming really soon), most surface sailor think that 120 Sailors deploy on submarines, and 60 couples return. I can tell you for a fact that it's a False statement! They never had more than 48 couples come back up. They're always some fights and breakups. j/k Answer 4 4. Since WWII, the Navy has lost only two nuclear powered submarines. What were their names? Answer 3. Thresher and Scorpion I truly think that as many missions that our submarine force does, and to lose only two since WWII is totally amazing. May the crew Rest-in-Peace. Thresher and Scorpion Thesher (SSN-593) had bad luck from the start. She was commissioned on August 3, 1961. On November 2, 1961 she suffered a failure of her diesel generator while in port and had to be evacuated. In 1962, she was struck by a tug boat while mooring at Cape Canaveral, Florida and suffered damage to her ballast tanks. On April 10, 1963 Thresher was conducting deep diving tests off the coast of Massachusetts. Operating at near her test depth of 1300 feet, she reported she was having "minor problems." She was never heard from again. She was found in 5500 feet of water, broken into six pieces. The most probable cause of her loss was determined to be a leak in a high-pressure water line, which shorted out her electrical system. 129 men, including seventeen civilian observers, lost their lives. Scorpion (SSN-589) was commissioned on July 29, 1960. On May 16, 1968 she left Rota, Spain on her way back to her homeport of Norfolk, Virginia.

  • The British Pacific Fleet Joins In
    CHAPTER 22 THE BRITISH PACIFIC FLEET JOINS I N EN Commodore Farncomb returned to Lingayen Gulf and hoisted pendant in Shropshire on 22nd January, the amphibious phas e of the operation was over . Things were quiet in the Gulf itself after som e days of considerable tension . Between 10th and 18th January TG .77.2, including Shropshire and Warramunga, operated off the Gulf as part of the Luzon Defence Force' in support of the Escort Carrier Group, and as cover against enemy surface forces. The escort carriers flew larg e numbers of sorties each day, and covered the offensive on shore until captured airfields could be brought into operation . Until 13th January , Kamikaze attacks were a major worry, both to ships in the Gulf and to the reinforcement convoys and those returning to Leyte, and considerable damage to ships was incurred, with many casualties . These attacks cease d on that date, however. As was learned after the war, by 12th January the Japanese had expended their aircraft in the Philippines . Many had bee n withdrawn to Formosa, where they reorganised at Tainan airfield, an d the Kamikazes were next heard from on 21 January when they attacked TF .38 ; bu t for the most part, from 13 January to the Iwo Jima operation, they remained grounded . For the Allies they now seemed but a horrible dream . Unfortunately, like other bad dreams, this one recurred . 2 On 13th January General MacArthur landed and set up his headquarter s in Dagupan, and the same day General Krueger assumed command o f Sixth Army ashore .

  • Eylau 8 February, 1807
    1 The Battle Of Eylau 8 February, 1807 Following his complete victory over Prussia in the autumn of 1806, Napoleon advanced across northern Germany, chasing the remnants of Prussian forces and hoping to deal a decisive defeat to their Russian allies before winter brought a close to the campaign. In this he was disappointed; not only was he unable to sweep into the rear of the Russian army, but the new Russian commander, Count Levin Bennigsen, slipped the trap and gave Lannes’ corps a bloody nose at Pultusk on 26 December. The weather brought an end to the campaign, and both armies suffered in their winter quarters. Napoleon hoped to lure the Russians into a decisive combat west of the Alle River, just as Bennigsen hoped to draw Napoleon too far East. The result was several inconclusive maneuvers in January as the armies groped for each other in terrible weather. The Russian cavalry screen proved to be the superior in these conditions, and throughout this campaign Napoleon’s couriers frequently fell into Bennigsen’s hands. Several small actions took place during the first week of February as the Russians retired eastwards, pursued by the French. Throughout the afternoon of 7 February the leading French columns of Augereau and Murat tangled with Russian defenders near Eylau. Bennigsen had chosen good defensive ground, and was hoping to be reinforced by General L’estoq, who commanded Prussia’s last field division. Napoleon, by contrast, was struggling to assemble sufficient numbers, worried that the Russians would escape what he thought was a trap; he thus committed himself to a bloody assault against superior odds in sub-zero weather.
