Waffles and Pancakes and other "new guy welcomings"

OK guys... I need to know what this is. Its going to happen to me on watch.... No one will tell me ANYTHING!

I think only surface RM guys will know what Im speaking of O.o I just want to be prepared .


Only bad thing that has happened to me so far is being locked in my rack . anyone have any good stories or ideas for me?

Either way your screwed. Just try not to break a fuse holder…. The electricians don’t like that.

Hey have you been cleared medically yet?

Yes, watch out when they send you on supply runs to the other plant or over to M-Div.  You can usually expect a group a mechanics and several rolls of HP tape waiting for you.

I fell for that one.  I got it easy though, only my hands and feet.  The other newbies I was with either got crucified (taped with two broom handles behind your arms and legs) or mummified.  They fought it, I didn't. 

We would sometimes send a Nub over to the other plant for a "Tom Punch.  The LPO in the other plant was a big guy named Tom and he was happy to help out!

During field day, sending someone down into the bilge to clean in front of #1 or #3 CG was particularly cruel.  All of the old RM mechanics know what the alternative use of this area was.

Just qualify ASAP and a lot this will go away.

93-383 -  hahaha I had a couple people explain to me what this was Hopefully I wont be a waffle

Spiff - I dont need to worry about that Im in pretty good with both mechanic divisions. Ive actually had no incidents other then the racking, and hopefully it wont get worse then that
