re: Navy guys: how do you fill your down time?

Non nuke rates who worked in the forward part of the sub were called coners or forward pukes. Forward pukes and we were F'ing nukes. Today's navy would seriously frown on the hazing that went on back then. Well they called it hazing, it was really a lot of horseplay. We would sometimes tape a guy to the bulkhead using EB green tape (a stronger type of duct tape)and leave them hanging there until some of their people from their division would come and get them. The forward pukes would do stuff like that to us nukes too on occasion. It was harder because MDIV (Nuclear Machinery Division, nuke MM's)was the largest division on the boat. Lol
