![]() ![]() ![]() That’s what happens when someone goes to Captain’s Mast – the final disciplinary stop for anyone placed on report. He was awarded to be discharged from the Navy. He was written up and sent to Captain’s Mast for a third time. I guess I made a wise choice not to go out with them that night. With Buckett passed out drunk on the couch in the living room, they told me what happened. I was sleeping in the back when they came and woke me up. The girls came back to the apartment crying and hysterical from the night’s ordeal. Luckily, the only thing that happened was Buckett’s gun being taken from him and his pride taking a dive. Having his own gun stripped out of his hands and brandished at him outside the bar, Buckett and the girls ran and jumped in the bushes. Too drunk to pay attention to what was going on around him, Buckett was stripped of his gun from behind by someone. During a night out at the club and heavy drinking, Buckett became so intoxicated, he flashed his gun at some real ‘Geez’ from the streets outside the bar. Around the same time that Buckett showed me his gun onboard ship, I was dating a female who had a girlfriend Buckett tried to impress. ![]() If there was a locker search at any time they would have been toast. Better than that, Tipp showed me a sawed-off shotgun onboard one day that was in his stand-up locker. Buckett opened his standup locker and pulled a. This aisle of berthing was known to all as ‘The Ghetto’ because most of the guys that lived down there were some of the ship’s most notorious sailors who usually got in trouble. If they had kept their mouths shut, they might have succeeded with their plans to bring the hash back to The States and make a small fortune in the process.īuckett told me to come to his locker down in berthing one day. Well, I guess the job prospects for being a drug dealer are out now. The block of Turkish hash was enough to be called trafficking. Scuttlebutt rumor said the block was enough to make a drug lord proud. All three sailors were awarded restriction to the ship for thirty days, half months pay times two, and processed for Dishonorable Discharge from the Navy. All three sailors were written up and sent to Captain’s Mast. The Turkish hash was found nicely hidden in a ventilation duct in a space rarely traveled. The three sailors were rounded up for questioning and investigated. The sailor that overheard the three sailors talking about stashing the block of Turkish hash in the ventilation duct immediately reported what he had heard. Unbeknownst to these devious sailors, there was another sailor on the other side of the passageway conducting planned maintenance who overheard the conversation. They were talking candidly about how they had taken a block of Turkish hash and hidden it inside a ventilation duct in a space onboard ship. The following paragraphs tell a few stories that were so short, they didn’t get a separate heading of their own.Īfter the Scott departed from a port visit in Turkey, three sailors were outside the barbershop waiting in line for a haircut. Some of the situations these sailors were involved in were serious enough for that person to be placed on restriction to possibly being discharged from the Navy. I wouldn’t put it past a sailor to do something off the wall because I have witnessed a lot of things that would amount to a good laugh and a memory that you would remember until the day you left this earth. My time onboard my first ship the Scott allowed me to witness a lot of the craziness sailors did throughout my time onboard. ![]()
