          Well, bugger me if this isn't another of those "wow, all this military hardware makes me proud to be an American" threads.
          "Paul Hanson, you should give Gibraltar back to the Spanish" - Paiktis, dramatically over-estimating my influence in diplomatic circles.

          Eyewerks - you know you want to visit. No really, you do. Go on, click me.

              You mean Kirk.
              No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

                  He's from Iowa. Picard is a Frenchy.

                    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.

                            Iowa was a cover storey. Can't say any more than that. No really, I can't...
