Got all of them correct although i did guess on a couple of them. I was an airdale also seems like a million yrs ago.

Well, I'll be damned Airdale!!!! When I noted your post, I saw your handle and with my ancient mariners eyes, I thought it read G-String.....I rushed right over to see what the post was.....Welcome, 5-String....Now you know where an old Navy Chiefs thoughts tend to run, huh? Did you know the Seabees referred to Fleet Sailors and Airdales as BLACK SHOE NAVY? Wasn't a bad term because we wore the desert style work shoes that never needing shining....Chief

Chiefs...? I understood those "thoughts" were issued in bootcamp.

Yes...I knew...is it now considered a bad term?

rooter · 01-27-2010, 03:13 PM

A bad term.....I thought the term SQUID was raunchy enough!!!! Chief

navis128 · 01-27-2010, 03:16 PM

Squidly-didly bad? I've been called a lot worse.

Suicide*Ride · 01-28-2010, 05:08 AM

Well, I missed 1. - Never heard of Med lights..... ever. Acey-duecy was 1 I had to think about as I didn't do much drinking. The only slang that I could remember about the on-base clubs was re. the Westpac Widows.....

Boy do I miss the Navy life.....
