Here's one for you, how about being Army posted from Pet to an Air Force unit on a Navy base.  Talk about culture shock :blotto:

How about being presented with the ''Ship's sailor of the year award'' while wearing an Air Force uniform with an army engineer cap badge??

Can some shead some light on the term "Cock of the fleet"?

 

[navymich]

By definition:

Cock of the walk, a chief or master; the hero of the hour;
      one who has overcrowed, or got the better of, rivals or
      competitors.

Not sure where or how it originated, but I'll keep looking for that.  Basically it is some (not always very) friendly competition between units and ships to crow about being the overall best.  Throughout the year or season, there are various tournaments arranged.  Points are kept throughout the year with the highest scoring unit being awarded "COTW".  Mostly bragging rights, but also a trophy too.

P.S. I was an Army Guy in an Airforce trade, and posted to a Navy base..... No wonder I was confused...... ;D

Don't forget, you go down the flats to a space, lift your feet and duck your head walking through a hatch, learn your navy drill, dinner is lunch, the XO can also be called Jimmy and the coxswain can be called Swain. 

And forward is the pointy end, aft is the flat end, port/starboard is your left and right etc.

The CBM (Chief Bosn Mate) is known as Buffer which stands for Big Ugly Fat F***er Easily Replaced....(how many of you knew that?)

Sounds like you miss your 'Buffer', airmitch.  :-X
