"8 years for $40???? I thought they only pulled that $hiat in the Army" That line had me laughing. That and the "I wouldn't $hiat on you, you are my favorite turd". LOL

Master Chief...I was going to USCG DC school in 1975 and they showed it in the base theater. I don't think they screened it before they knew what was in it. I have to say, we almost brought the building down when Baddusky told the kid what to tell the MAA. One of the funniest saddest truest movies about military life I ever saw. And you're right Master Chief...they helped me grow up. I'm forever grateful. Even as a puddle pirate

I had a Sergeant I worked for with the Honolulu Police Dept....he had served in the early 70 s......he said that this movie was spot on about the Navy in those days....I came in the Army in 1983....For sure see some of the same stuff i went through...although I love the barracks scene with the day room with the old coffee pot and the long barracks hallway and guys ironing their uniforms....looks like a typical sunday afternoon in the barracks to me...

I served from 2005 - 2009. When I first saw this movie I was in awe how the dialog and how they treat each other is pretty true to life. People in love to use the 'kinder gentler navy' for new sailors, but everyone still talks shit like this movie. As for being transient, I still remember the saying "keep your ice skates sharp" as in be good at skating off.

Even in '92, being in transit was pretty similar to this. I spent a fair amount of time watching the ancient big screen in the lounge while smoking. Eventually they found lousy work for me to do until my ship came in.

8 years and a DD for 40 dollars nonetheless. I knew a Marine that was caught using coke as well as dealing. They got him to talk by telling him they’ll send him to a special court martial where he’d get one year and a BCD. Once he spilled his guts they reneged on that and sent him to General court martial where he got 12 years and a DD. He put himself in that position so it was hard to pity him but that was shitty to pull the deal out from underneath him. From what I heard, his JAG was some boot lawyer with less than a year left on his obligation

I was in the transient barracks at Norfolk for a couple of weeks before my discharge. While I was there I was assigned chaser duty at the disciplinary barracks. Never had to escort anyone to prison, though. I mostly sat in the day room to keep an eye on the guys and break up any fights that might have come up. This movie captures the air of daily life in the Navy in that time period better than any other.

I was in the Navy in the early 80s and this scene and movie are spot on. My service was a joke. I wasted millions of tax dollars when I saw the military is a racket. I noticed a technical error here. The Chief is wearing the patch of a boatswain's mate when MAA has it's own patch.
