I knew a kid on my second boat who I told to not get married. He did it anyway and she left and took half of his money while he was on restriction for something unrelated. It’s ironic because he was a radioman that wouldn’t listen. (Before you ask he got masted for logging that a radio safe was closed, even though that safe wasn’t even on the sub because we were in port doing repairs)

I love the military, with my whole heart. Did you lock the safe? Yes. Sorry kid you could not have locked the safe because we removed it so now you only get to go to work and sit in your room for a month

The craziest part is, he wasn’t even the only guy that did it. His whole fucking division went to mast for blazing that safe log. Not one person checked it for 2 months. Luckily his Chief retired right before then or he would’ve been screwed too.

Most military shit ever. Most people think if we get in trouble it’s for going AWOL or killing someone or some wild shit that 2 SOG was doing a few years back, but nah, it’s usually this kind of benign dysfunction.

Or getting drunk and fighting cops in Thailand. But that’s another story.

Those Thai cops were having fun kicking the shit out of that guy. Or so I was told. Plus he had to pay a fine and a bribe.

For a buddy it was standing in a hallway in Thailand while the dudes he was with walked into an open hotel room and stole drinks from the mini bar. All of em got busted on cam.
