This one is called: Anchors Aweigh :to:


Admittedly I was horrible at my job in the Navy. I was an Engineman. Which is basically a mechanic. I have zero mechanical abilities in my body. :yeshrug: It took a while for my Chief to realize this. . Before he did finally get it I managed to damn near wreck a lot of shyt. :ehh:

One of our jobs was to monitor and maintain the Anchor Windlass.

The anchor windlass controlled the anchor. It all ran off of hydraulic fluid. A LOT OF HYDRAULIC FLUID.

It consisted of some pumps and machines and it was located in a little room at the very front ( forward ) of the ship. So. . I was the new guy on our team. We are all hanging out in the shop when one of the 1st classes tells my one homie ( The one from the Virgin Island Debacle who ended up beating up the goons. ) to go get a oil sample from the Anchor Windlass.

As he was getting ready to go my chief says. . :ehh: Send the new kid. General you go.

Now I tell Chief straight up.

Me - Chief. I am not sure what the heck I am doing. Can somebody show me? :yeshrug:

Chief - :what: Its a fukking oil sample! Here is the jar. Did you learn nothing in A-School shipwreck?

Me - uhh. . Ok. . I guess. . :sadcam:

When I say I know nothing mechanically I mean it. I never took apart things as a kid. I never changed oil. I damn near failed A-School cause the second part of school was all hands on. They made me stop working on the diesels cause mine caught on fire. :to:

I get to the Anchor Windlass room. I see machines and pumps everywhere. I have no idea where I am supposed to get a oil sample from! :why:

I see a petcock on a pump. Fill up my oil bottle and go back to the shop to show everyone. . They clowned the fukk out of me.

Me - Here you go Chief. I got the sample. :pachaha:

Chief - :wtf: I said the hydraulic oil! Not the oil from the blah blah blah. . .:shaq:

Rest of the Team - :lolbron::heh::gladbron:

Me - :dwillhuh:

Chief - Get your ass back up there and get the correct sample! :russ:

I walk out of there even more confused. . I get up there again. . I am looking everywhere. Then I put my brain to action. . He said HYDRAULIC OIL. OK. I look above me. . There are tons of pipes full of hydraulic oil above me. .

So what do I do? I reach in my back pocket and pull out my crescent wrench. :obama: In hindsight brehs. . This may have been a bad idea.

I crack open a pipe from the ceiling. Oil starts gushing out fast as fukk!! :gladbron: I am scrambling now! I fill up my sample bottle in about 1.5 seconds and I am already covered in oil!

It was like the Gulf Oil Spill.

You see. . The oil was pressurized in those pipes. I did not know. :manny: So as soon as I cracked it open. . Literally the flood gates opened up. :skip: I was trying my best to reattach the pipe but it was IMPOSSIBLE! So after a few minutes I gave up. Hell, I figured. . . how much oil can there be? It is bound to stop any minute now.

NOPE

It is a small ass space. . In no time it was starting to fill up. I noticed the oil creeping over my shoes.. Up to my ankles. . :sadbron: fukkKKKKKK!!! :noah: What could I do at this point?:yeshrug: I made sure my oil sample bottle was filled. . And I decided to make my way back to the shop. :ehh:

I am getting ready to leave when I fully realize how saturated I am with oil. Every inch of me was COVERED IN OIL. Hair down to my socks. I wring out some the best I can and get moving. :mjpls:

In the Navy everybody takes care of their own shyt. Meaning everyone shares the duties of taking care of the P Ways ( hallways ) And they took that shyt serious. Stripping and waxing. . etc. . So in order to walk from where I was way in the front ( forward ) all the way to the back ( aft ) I had to walk through alot of different P Ways. I am dripping oil like a a old Mopar. :skip:

I trolled :troll:the fukk out of everyone. . . I am trudging through. . . Oil is everywhere. . Shoes squeaking. . I am fukking up EVERYONES floors! :gladbron: I see people in shock as I am walking by.

:ohhh: That oil will most assuredly fukk up everyones wax job. I get to the door of the shop when my homie sees me!

Homie - Generall! :wtf:

Me - :snoop:

Homie - Oh I have to see how this turns out. :jawalrus:

The door to the office is closed so I knock. . I look over at my homie and he is absolutely GIDDY! :lolbron:

I am standing there at the door. And already I have a huge pool of oil around my feet. :leostare: I knock.

Chief - WHO IS IT? :sitdown:

Me - Its General Chief. :smugdraper:

Chief - Do you have my oil sample yet? :mjpls:

Me - Oh yes I have it. :troll:

I look at my homie and he is doing everything he can not to laugh out loud.

Me - Hey Chief. .umm. . . I think I may have caused a catastrophe. :smugfavre:

Homie - ( busts out laughing ) :russ:


One of the 1st classes opens the door and is :krs:

My chief has his back to me and is filling out some paperwork. The 1st Class who opened the door is still :dwillhuh: You can hear the oil dripping off me brehs. My homie is in the doorway trying to stifle his laughs. He is snorting and shyt.

Chief - Hopefully you have not fukked this up again General ( back is still to me ) :comeon:

Me - Oh no Chief. . I think I got it. :skip:

1st Class - Uh Chief. . Uhhhh :ld: He has the oil alright. But you have to see this

Chief - ( turns around ) :wtf:

He opens his mouth to go off when about 4 division heads converge on the shop! They bust in and are all talking a mile a minute about how their pways are all fukked up!

Chief looks at me and I am like. :yeshrug: Then I hand him the oil sample bottle.

At this moment my homie could no longer hold anything in. He BUSTS OUT LAUGHING :russ: And my chief goes to stand up and slips on my oil. :snoop:
