If You Can't Pay Attention, Take Notes : A Navy Brat Reflects on Bratdom, the First Line of Defense, and Why You Don't Wash the Chief's Coffee Cups

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - There's an old saying that the difference between a fairy tale and a sea story is that a fairy tale starts off with 'Once upon a time' and a sea story starts off with 'This is no shit.'Here in these pages is a heaping pile of 'This is no shit' and it starts with the notion that in the Navy, the cardinal rule is: If you can't pay attention, take notes.When does this rule apply In the Navy, all the time: when training for war includes playing pinochle, when you're mistaken for an NIS agent, when Robert Mitchum (yes, that Robert Mitchum) stops by your barracks for a beer or two, when advancing in the Navy is one damn thing after another.The fun frolic through the sea stories of a Navy 'lifer' (seen partly through the eyes of his Navy brat daughter) includes a series of adventures and misadventures when he commandeers an Army jeep in Vietnam, discovers that some side work in New Jersey was mob-related, and commutes to the ship via helicopter.Hear that They're piping us aboard. Let's weigh anchor and get the sea stories underway! Artikel-Nr. 9780578458199
