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

I was on a DDS boat so we did ops with SEALs from time to time. On one underway someone told them about "ringing the bell" in AMR. They were told that they had to ring the bell, run to the aft end of AMR and make it back out before we caught them.

There were about 5 of us A-gangers sitting around on the side of the diesel when we hear the ringing. We all run over to the other side of the diesel and catch SEAL #1 as he's heading out. We tackled him and beat his arse for a little while (technically he was laughing and probably could have killed us all if he wanted).

Haha fun's over so we go back and sit on the other side of the diesel again...

5 minutes later... DING DING! We're like "We're gonna frick this dude up now" and we go around the diesel again to be greeted by SEAL #2 wearing nothing but his boots and yelling "catch me! catch me!". Probably the ONLY time someone ever got a pass down in AMR.
