Good Training or it builds character" to describe any unpleasant task...Scraping the sides of the ship is "Good Training." Spending the night drinking and getting sick the next day is "Good Training." Having to sleep on your seabag in the parking lot because there was no room in the barracks is "Good Training"

Our new guys used to run around the boat (I was a submariner) looking for Relative Bearing grease, and water slugs ( a water slug is when you test your torpedo tubes and fire the tube empty, forcing what water was in the tube out).
A saying we had on our boat was " Loose lips may sink ships, but no one hears us coming til it's too late"

Hell yeah, I am a Bubblehead. It's just that now, I make the bubbles :scubadive rather than riding on a sub
Another couple of sayings we had on the boat were
" There are only 2 things that go to sea, Subs and Targets"
When "suface pukes" gave us ***** about being on a sub, we'd also say "at least when our boat sinks, we come back up when we want to. When yours sinks, you're shark food"
