spark plugs for the 6.5

A friend of mine once saw a person cussing and upset trying to pour a quart of oil down the dipstick tube because it read a quart low.

He went in the store and got them one of those free paper funnels and rolled it a little tighter and handed it to them waited then after a few seconds of them trying he showed them the filler port laughing.
 
One of our favorite shipboard hazing rituals for fresh green cadets was to send them off to fetch a level.

You won't find a level on a ship. Ever. Ships are never level.

Good thing I wasn't there I would have brought you a clinometer, because with the correct ballast loading not only is the ship level port & stbd, but bow & stern also, has to be when doing turbine alignments in the water.

Yeah a newbie cadet probably would not have known that, I would have though I was sailing in ships from age of 13.

Dad was USN I made many a "tiger cruise" with him, couple as a NJROTC cadet in high school, then followed Dad's footsteps when I turned 18 and joined USN myself sailing as a GSM SNIPE on a Ayatollah Class Spru Can derivative my site/old ship here www.uss-scott.com

I got in trouble with my boot camp CPO & LPO often :D I knew what was BS & not BS in the threat dept; plus since they were "just a Chief & 1st Class" I wasn't impressed as Dad was a Sr. Chief and I had been around Sr. enlisted & Ossifers all my life as a Navy brat.
