Junior Officer Funnies.
There are lots of former Senior Enlisted in here. Do you have any funny J.O. tales?
I'll start.
We were doing a boarding on a 27 foot sailboat on the back side of San Clemente Island at midnight.
It was carrying 2200 ponds of pot.
No immediate threat was there, so I kept the small boat tied up to it as the team went on board.
One of the Ensigns, a Butterbar, picked up a green oblong box with yellow lettering.
He read aloud what was on it, and this is exactly how he pronounced the writing:
"Gurr-in-aw-day for Rif-fle".
Another team member grabbed it an threw it overboard.
I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

A Deplorable!
