| In the first place, you went onto a reunion web site for the USS John Paul
| Jones and listed yourself as a MACHINIST. You were never a cook in the Navy;
| you merely got sent to "mess crank" duty again and again because you were
| too clumsy and stupid to get promoted to E-4. I'm sure the Filipinos must
| have teased you every time you showed up for another 90-day tour: "Oh,
| Pussy! You back again, huh? What make you fail exam this time, somebody ask
| how big a quarter-inch wrench? You go scrub out grease trap, jakol, and keep
| hands out of pants!"
|
| In the second place, in their schools the Navy only gives cooks the bare
| minimum needed to get by. Any junior-high girl who passes a Home Ec class
| has as much competence in the kitchen as the Honor Grad from a Navy culinary
| school.
|
| In the third place, as Carol already mentioned, the "Crème de la Crème" get
| to choose their own duty stations, and it's extremely rare for one of them
| to choose sea duty.
|
| So you've been caught LYING AGAIN, Pussy!

OMIGOD, our cookie was never even a Navy cook, just had mess duty
which of course is primarily a punishment for idle hands, in both senses
of the term. Great work, Bob, how or where did you find that?
