For Reasons of Unsuitability

Not long afterwords, was I ordered to report to the XO’s stateroom. With some anxiety, did I proceed to his stateroom, for I had been on pretty good behavior, of late, or so I thought. “Come in,“ responded the XO to the knock on his door. “Mr. Drury, Sir,“ I reported upon entering his stateroom. [...]

The Price We Must Pay for Our Actions

After we’d pulled out of Yokuska, later that morning, I was ordered by the master-at-arms to report, in dress whites, to the Captain’s stateroom for a Captain’s Mast. With my entry into the Captain’s stateroom on the heels of the master-at-arms, I found the XO and a yeoman from the ship’s office already standing by. [...]

A Carefully Guarded Secret

Before my Captain’s Mast, I pulled two days of shore leave in Japan. While the conversation for many of the crew gravitated down around sampling some of the finest p—y to be found anywhere on the Asian Continent, I looked forward to stepping out into the first foreign country I’d ever visited. I was disappointed, [...]

A Dangerous Game of Chicken

In my satisfaction with having found a few like-minded companions, I stepped back from the edge of the abyss, to seek out the one who could show me the way to safely reach the bottom without acting like an animal or going insane. Thus did my search for She Who Must Be Obeyed begin as [...]

On the Brink of Insanity

It wasn’t until later on that morning that I saw the door inch open, ever so slightly. Having been ordered to report to the shipyard dispensary, I figured they (meaning the Navy) wanted to examine me, that is, my body, to see if I was physically fit to make a West Pac cruise after my [...]

United States vs FR Drury

Inside, I fall prey to yet another fantasy as my thoughts drift back to the first time I wondered why the Lord of Darkness had fought so hard to keep me in the dark about this island of mine. For if left alone, long enough, I’d invariably get sucked into the fight as the forces [...]

The Willful Destruction of Government Property

Left standing outside the XO’s stateroom, I felt a bit like Jesus, who’d gotten shuffled from one authority to another, in much the same manner, as each one realized he had no authority over He Who Is. In that one brief moment, I felt as if I were in contact with some incredibly powerful force, [...]

The “S” Word

Having sat there in silence, for a few moments, I finally blurted out, “I didn’t know what else to do. I was so disappointed by the Navy’s failure to satisfy the insatiable longing for self-fulfillment, that has afflicted me since puberty, I could not bear the additional pain of the remorse I felt after having [...]

Nature of the Beast

I hadn’t heard from my girlfriend back home since I had arrived onboard the ship, three or four weeks ago, until I found a letter from her lying on my bunk. As my heart leapt within my chest, I grabbed the letter and tore into it. Dear Butch, Sounds like you don’t think too much [...]

Animal Side of Human Nature

Since each division was required to supply the mess decks with a new man every three months, I was the logical choice when the time came for First Division to send a replacement. Besides being low man on the totem pole, I proved to be such a vexation to the First Division lifers, they no [...]
