Aye Aye Captain!

Raiders Army · 01-21-2005, 03:06 PM

It's great being a Captain in the Army. Now the civilians around here say "Aye aye Captain!"

Then I say, "I can't heaaaaaaaaaar you!"

Then they say, "AYE AYE CAPTAIN!!!"

And then we go about our business.

Just don't get trapped on an island with some guy name Gilligan

I wish my last name was Woody and I was a Major in the Army. That would be cool.

I've had just about all the nautical nonsense I can stand.

I did some consulting work for a guy once whose name was Richard Suckett(I can't recall the exact spelling, but it was pronounced the way you think it would be). I sort of grinned when he told me his first name, and he said "Oh go ahead and laugh. I was in the Army.".

One small question.

WTF WERE HIS PARENTS THINKING!?!?!?!

Congrats, Captain!

As for weird names, I once worked for a man named Major Dykes.

Congrats on the promotion, RA!

Am I the only one that feels like there was a Spongebob Squarepants reference missed here?

Poli · 01-21-2005, 07:24 PM

Congratulations! I must warn you, I call most captains (O-6 in the Navy) "Captain Crunch".

The cool thing about being a captain in another service working with the Navy is when you call someone on the phone and tell them you're Captain So-an-so and you need something done you'll be amazed at how courteous and swift the response will be compared to asking someone in your own service to do it.
