And what does that mean?
For me it was to clear all my medical/physical issues that came up when I got my results back from N3M.

Oh, I thought you were referring to something else. I got all that stuff cleared up months ago. Carry on...

It's less the flying planes off boats and more the landing planes on boats that's crazy.I think we're all a little crazy wanting to fly planes off boats
Pretty sure the craziest thing they'll do in their Navy careers is the chow hall procedures.
"DOOR BODIES OFF THE REAR!"
"DOOR BODIES OFF THE REAR, AYE AYE, SECTION LEADER! AYE AYE, SECTION LEADER! COCK, DRIVE, STEP, TOGETHER, COCK, DRIVE, STEP!"

True that; on the cat shot, you're a passenger; on a day landing, you're an expert aviator... a night landing, you're a white-knuckled wizard!It's less the flying planes off boats and more the landing planes on boats that's crazy.

It's what is said just before going into the chow hall, when the platoon is outside the door. Section leader says the first quote, rest of the platoon says the first part of the second quote, and the two door bodies say the rest of the quote (they say "aye aye section leader" twice). Then they say their ditties for a right face (cock-drive), one step forward (step-together), left face (cock-drive), and walk up to check that the chow hall deck is all clear.
And to answer the unasked question, yes, it's quite sad that I remember all these procedures a full year after the fact. But then again, I was one of the people charged with helping to teach the rest of my class all this stuff. Such is the burden of H-class.
