    It’s never one thing.

    The picture brought attention to him, and most Captain’s have done some shit. When they’re out to sea they’re pretty much the final authority. Like no one is ever going to hear about what they do from UCMJ cases.

    Until something like this. Then you have an investigation and they look thru everything and talk to everyone.

    That’s what gets them kicked out.

      Yeah I grew up around some Navy veterans and the weird stories I know is kinda impressive, im also going to note these were all doen with the captains permission and/or knowledge.

      • Cooking a turkey with the smokestack.

      • Shooting seagulls with an AA gun, related to the previous one.

      • Shooting seagulls with a pressure washer, unrelated to the person from before.

      • Shooting seagulls with an M1 flamethrower, this is from an entirely different person from the two before.

      • Blaring music over the loudspeaker “because it annoyed the British”

      • Smuggling “Way too much” whiskey

      • Making “The Man Signal” with a floodlight

      • Confetti cannon, I have no fucking clue what this means I assume they filled a ship cannon with confetti
