I’d tell you but then I’d have to kill myself.
Y’all ought to listen to this: “Fake Hero” Pleads “Not Guilty”

In bootcamp and A school we marched around the base quite a bit. In bootcamp, we actually marched to Anchor’s Away for reviews, graduation and just for the sadisitic hell of it a few times.

Used to be, and still is AFAIK, required of recruits at Great Lakes to sing “Anchors Away” when marching thru the tunnel under Buckley Rd.

I’ll take your word on the road name, but a tunnel sounds like the part that I was remembering fondly as just for the sadistic hell of it. I think this was on the way to getting our checks cashed. This was 1985 for me.

I had to look it up. 
That tunnel does figure into getting from NTC housing to the NavEx bank, IIRC. I was at Great Lakes in '87.

No, that is the Navy Motto. FtN or our other motto N.A.V.Y = Never Again Volenteer Yourself.

The N.A.V.Y. folks are also likely to be members of P.A.P.E.R.C.L.I.P. (People Against People Ever Re-enlisting–Civilian Life Incentive Program). You can identify a member by the oh-so-subtle paper clip on the front shirt pocket of their uniform.
Or, for less subtlety, you could get an command ball cap with the date on which your enlistment is up embroidered on the back. I worked with an electrician for two years with a ball cap like that–when he re-enlisted, the first thing he did was to get a new ball cap with an updated date. 
Whoops–I didn’t realize that this thread ran to three pages, and that the discussion had moved on. :smack:
