Insidious Canadian-Japanese Battle Group visits San Diego.
Well, it isn't so much as "Insideious" as "Pulling into the Naval Base, and get drunk. And/or foolishly disrespect American women, get slapped/kicked/maimed." It also isn't so much as a "Battle-group" as two warships, the HMCS Ottawa(complete with a rather raggedy looking Sea King on it's flight deck, I guess it couldn't make it to the air field.) and the Setogiri. Why a Japanese ship crossed the Pacific on it's own is beyond me.

Interesting looking ships, even if the Canuck one is of Puke-green color.

I remember a few years back when the Communist Chinese sent a ship over to stop off in San Diego. A ton of Chinese Americans showed up and started burn the commie flag. I think most of them were from Taiwan but several were members of that banned cult.

At least we don't paint our warships the color of puke.

Japan wouldn't have done it if Canada weren't there to back them up, which just goes to show you that we should have dropped Fat Man on Montreal instead. Uppity beaver-bangers.

I suspect that Sea King is more dangerous to themselves than us.

Although that popgun does look like it'll sting something fierce.

Hey, tent guard, got something I've been saving just for you:

THIS IS MY SWAB. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My swab is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I master my life.


My swab, without me is useless. Without my swab, I am useless. I must swab my deck true. I must swab cleaner than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must swab my deck before he shoots me. I will....


My swab and myself know that what counts in this war is not the filth we clean, the noise of our splashing water, nor the mess we make. We know that it is the sparkles that count.

We will sparkle...


My swab is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weakness, its strength, its strands, its handle, its texture, and its absorbtion. I will ever guard it against the ravages of jarheads and officers. I will keep my swab clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will...


Before God I swear this creed. My swab and myself are the janitors of my country. We are the room service of our enemy. We are the saviors of my liberty in Hawaii.


So be it, until there is no enemy, but Mop and Glow!

Hmph. I'm cranking (working in the messdecks right now), so for me it's more like "This is my scullery. I got a highpowered hotwater hose to wash off the big chunks and put the dishes in a Skynetesque machine for final cleanseing"

I was telling Lonestar at the meet how I got out of mess cranking (well except for boot camp)

The nuke program is a great way to make E-5 quickly.

as for swabbing, well I couldn't get out of that quite as easily. Because when everyone in the nuke field is E-4's and up, E-5's end up doing a lot of cleaning of division spaces.
