Had an alarm go off at the aft security station for a magazine. I was #3 in line running down the port passageway with a shotgun. Lots of yelling. Out of the officers mess steps a boatswain warrant officer who hated us Marines. Guy in front of me could not avoid slamming into him, imagine him on the floor, his favorite coffee mug smashed and coffee everywhere. We could not stop.Pretty much the same with Marines on a Carrier, and a Nuke drill happens.
I asked a friend on a carrier about the scene from Star Trek 4 (save the whales) when the Marines are going after the Enterprise crew.
He said, yup, like that, but way worse.
An hour later we are in front of the ships Captain with our CO and First Sgt, said WO still covered in coffee bellowing his displeasure demanding keel hauling. After it was all done the Captain looked at him and said "Stay out of the way of my Marines when they are working!"
