“You sure talk a lot of shit,” you say calmly, “for someone who was fucking my Engine Telegraph Officer.”

“More fucking bullshit, Julie was enlisted just like me. Can you even tell grunts apart anymore or isn't there enough room in your ass to get your fucking glasses on?”

“I can still read a personnel file just fine, Lieutenant.”

Hate *stops.*

For as long as you've known him, the Marine has been a presence constantly in motion, no matter what his body might be doing – his eyes prowling about the bushes, his attitude stomping through doorways before him like an elephant – even his sharp glance that zips across a room with a velocity all its own, when he can't be arsed to get out of a chair or even speak. Even asleep he has the aspect of a coiled spring, thrumming with potential energy waiting for release.

But now, for the first time ever – he has quite simply *stopped.*

“Lieutenant.”

He blinks.

“Leave.”

He stares at you, his expression unfathomable – before turning on one heel and doing just that. His legs move, but the man himself is still stopped – just... stopped.

You know in that moment that you've just done something you can't take back – inflicted a wound deeper than anything you could've left with a knife (even if he'd let you land it.) But far worse is the cold, stark knowledge that you really, really don't give a fuck – and from the deep, firm set of the satisfaction in your soul, you doubt you'll feel differently tomorrow, either.

All hail the victor. Bring forth the crown of poison oak leaves.

>>42118724
Okay, okay. So the story my grandfather (who is now deceased, he got recruited when he was younger) went roughly like this;
Got drafted, was smart enough to get into the navy as a radio operator, then buddy-buddied up to the captain of the ship. Y'know, was charming, did the whole serving him during dinner and such, and he's charismatic enough that they become (from what I could tell) bros.

So one of the turrets is empty for one reason or another (gun has been stripped out) and the captain decides, hey, they need a ship library in that hollow and guess who pops up in his mind first and foremost.

My grandfather, the enterprising sort, immediately took up to smuggling various goods for the entire rest of the ship (canned peaches, canned pineapples, fresh bananas, smokes, beer mostly) having a captain-verified hideyhole full of books and now a real easygoing job where he can take naps constantly. And a pet monkey which he got from... somewhere. That was never explained. I still have picture of him and the damned thing, apparently it died of old age in the U.S., but long before I was born.

Well, teknichally, a VBSS team would have the ship's Weapons Officer of Force Protection Officer in charge of them, with the actual team leads would be mid-rank enlisted.

Destroyers do not, at this time, carry a USMC contingent on board (Even one or two). However, with modern military technology advancements, a 'test case' deployment could easily see a team of 'field experts' temporarily assigned to a nonstandard platform, and that team being finagled into various duty stations for the duration.

I had the exact same thought a couple of threads ago for RCN Catalinas, I figured they would come back as Loons. Loons are sea birds and almost all of them can only take flight over water.

Also Loon's have a very distinct way of flying with a high flat wing and an underslung body, the resemblance is uncanny.

Other things of note in the room included about a hundred grand, eight anonymous thank you notes left in lipstick on eight pairs of panties, and a recording device on the far wall missing it's memory stick.

Settle has no recollection of the past twenty four hours and no one on base will look him in the eyes for a week

The Thompson was reliable, but heavy. The problem was more that the Thompson was fuckoff expensive ($200 each verses ~$10 each for a Garand) and took a long time to produce (~3 months verses 1 week for a Garand).

The Reising was actually really advanced for its time (closed bolt SMG, like the MP5 today), but like early M16s all that sophistication left little tolerance for dirt, grime, and other battlefield stuff. Jammed a lot, and required you to take the whole thing apart to clear it.

The Grease Gun was intended as the cheaper, faster version of the Thompson, but early versions succeeded too well. Early M3s logged literally every single malfunction imaginable, but one of the worst (and most common) was the weld on the housing would fail, sending the barrel and internal workings flying downrange.

Somewhere outside the administrative building you commandeer a ride by standing in the road till a jeep nearly hits you, then pushing the confused-looking young seaman out of the seat with gentle, but firm pressure from the tip of your cane. You don't remember the cross-base drive, or what time you reached your little apartment – only the moment of almost blind rage when the door lock wouldn't turn for some stupid reason (government contractors are useless the world over,) and the moment of grudging relief when it gave without undue violence. Stumbling inside, you cast aside your cane and angle towards some of the recently-delivered boxes in one corner; the rest of your luggage that had to play catch-up via MATS. The military will even ship your personal vehicle overseas if you want, but you've got to wait for such posh service. In the corner of one box you find a full bottle of cherry-flavored vodka. Rummaging through the fridge turns up a big bottle of cranberry juice; probably someone's idea of an old man joke and fuck them too. You pour yourself a screwdriver, except it isn't, it's a – a something, who gives a fuck? You were never a drinker.

The Whogivesafuck goes down smooth; even smoother when you add more juice. You were an Annapolis boy born and raised; groomed for the service by your father, in the image of your grandfather, someone in your family ate splinters from Old Ironsides decking but they didn't really because her deck was never splintered because it never fucking happened. Point is, you don't drink like a sailor, and prefer not to swear like one – but today seems like the perfect time for both. You empty the glass again and refill it.

“Mind if I join you?”

“RRRAAAAH!” you squeal, twisting at the hip and flinging the half-full bottle of cranberry juice at the speaker. To his credit, Goto manages to catch it without too much fumbling. He eyeballs you for a moment and unscrews the lid of the bottle, then proffers it to you. Without further ado you empty the vodka into it. He sits down at the little table in your kitchenette, takes a good mouthful of the concoction and passes the plastic bottle back to you.

You take the opportunity to study your compatriot (through the bottom of the bottle, that is.) He doesn't look any more awake then he was in the CiC, but the alcohol seems to have honed his ragged edge. Straight or rough, the edge is still the edge – he looks like you feel.

“So,” you say, and fall silent for a moment. “How'd you get away from Kongou?”

“One inch at a time,” he says, taking the bottle back and swigging down his turn. “She put me to bed, then climbed in after me. Shook loose soon as I could, came 'ere.” He wiggles his arm and winces – seems full circulation still hasn't returned.

“Did the...”

He waits for you to finish, his haggard expression open and immobile.

“... completely forgot what I was sayin,” you say, taking another turn at the whofuckingcares, product of Settle For A Crippled Old Has Been, Inc.

You look at the bottle and squint at it approvingly.

“I'm drunk,” you announce with satisfaction.

“Not even slurring yet,” Goto says, snatching the bottle back. There was an old joke in Annapolis about an Irish sailor and a Japanese one meeting in a bar. The punchline was they teamed up to murder an RN officer who gave some smugly superior advice to the Japanese sailor, but, uh, Goto can hold his liquor, is the fucking point here. You don't know why he dragged his sorry carcass across the base to come get hammered with The Amazing CrippleYank instead of lying in bed with a beautiful woman on his arm, but...
