#1 I'm thinking "indiscreet orgy", either involving enlisted personnel or "professional services" who blabbed.

It reminded me of a tale from the Flashman series, by George MacDonald Fraser, in which he was impressed by the 'knocking shop' performance of "two elderly naval gentlemen", with a bevy of petite Oriental girls.

He attributed it to "those long sea voyages".

#2 20-50 years ago, they would have gotten away with this shit. These days, forget it! Modern folk simply don't understand that what goes on off the job reflects your character, especially when you're in charge of nuclear weapons.

#3 I was not in the Navy but I worked with some of them. They are some of the most uptight people I have ever met and I bet that the sub guys are worse. "Inappropriate Behavior" is a very minor term where as "Conduct Unbecoming" would be more serious. Probably didn't wash up after taking a leak. Any Squids out there got any follow-on?

#5 As everyone knows: There is no inappropriate sexual activity allowed on submarines or ships. Or jokes, either.

#7 Army grunts would go to the Navy's parties in Korea when the Army folks weren't partying hard enough. Trust me, I spent one New Year Eve at a Naval Officers house babysitting my boy who almost peed on a table that he mistook for a toilet next to the bar. Anyone who doesn't think the Navy parties hard is living in an alternate universe. Oh, and my cousin who get pregnant out of wedlock was stationed on a Navy ship stationed off of Puerto Rico, if you need any more proof.
