all the corpsman would do is give you a Motrin, tell you get back to work
"Doc! Doc! I have a sucking chest wound and I'm bleeding out!"
"here's a Motrin. Get back to work"

or, in my case
"Doc! Doc! my TOOTH just COLLAPSED"
"helo is leaving in 5 minutes... YOU'RE ON IT!"
yep. Medevac'd off the ship to Rota on the way back from Desert Storm. met on the runway by an ambulance. those corpsman were told there was a "medical emergency" coming in. what they got was a dental emergency.
Dental fixed me up, I hopped a C5 back to Norfolk where I was met by my Mom & Brother. Spent the night there, another C5 to Chucktown a week before the ship arrived
my shipmates told me they ran out of cigarettes after refueling in the Azores
and to keep it ON topic...

Or...if they were bored....
A friend of mine had an ingrown hair a couple inches above his knee, went to the corpsman. They cut a hole in his leg you could put your finger in. They stuffed a cotton ball in it, and told him to get back to work!

What's going to be stuffed in the unmentioned remaining hole: cascade? Maybe a #2bung?

Hope Doc at least offered Motrin

That was 40+ years ago. Did they even have Motrin then?

Ibuprofen was invented in 1961. I was in '87 to 93 & that's the only OTC pain reliever they gave out
Also known as Advil
I'm not finding any dates for the brand Motrin

I was working there on a high school co-op program when the Standley Steamer event happened. Never knew the exact details, but there sure were a lot of stories floating around about it
I spent 3 years on a cruiser and the ship's doctor wanted to be a dermatologist. No matter what, he told you to wash it 3 times a day with Dial soap.

I dig the groovy 80's glasses.. Been there!
groovy is for 60s or 70s
you mean "totally radical" or "gnarly" or even "bitchin'!"for 80s
this was 1991

Yeah, I was down in the #2 engineroom when it happened, luckily we had the main steam guarding valve closed. Rocked the whole ship, didn't know what was going on!

I was in '74 to '78, I think all we had were APC's.
Recently looked up the Standley's location, about 15 years ago they used it for gunnery practice and sunk it off the NE coast of Australia. 23 June 2005.

You can’t trust someone who doesn’t like bacon. At least that’s what I say. Haha

Vitamin B, I call it! That and some vitamin C (coffee) and you're good to go for the day.
Scan of a post card I picked up while in Alberta a few weeks ago.
Don't forget your antioxidants A, D, E & K:
Vitamin A for alcohol
Vitamin D for dessert
Vitamin E & K as the cup size for tig ol bitties
Fry it up in a cast iron pan and you will also get your daily requirement of iron.
Max Stout has a GED in medicine and is telling you--bacon is good for you! Accept no substitutes! Turkey bacon just doesn't cut it.
ersatz bacon in any form is an abomination...

I like the interviews with the centenarians. They always ask, “what’s the secret to your longevity?”
They usually say some **** like,”bacon and whiskey every day!”

Don't forget the cee-gars. Pint of whiskey, couple cigars, plenty of bacon, every day, you'll live for ever. If not who gives a $#!? you had a good ride. I like when it's a tiny old lady they interview.
But beef bacon is tolerable, could probably be good if its made right.

And just in time, here it is. They were wrong all along. Red meat is good for you, never was bad, never mind, move along, eat up.

Oops, thought meat was bad. Oops, thought Pluto was a big ol' planet not a piece of junk. Oops, from behind, thought you were a gal I know, sorry for goosing you, sir. Yeah, some things you really need to double check your work before you go all in.

Long story, so you'll have to wait 'til I've had a few beers, but ask me sometime about homemade blasting caps!

1980-1985 I spent working at NARFNI, and living in Imperial Beach and Coronado. Loved that early morning drive along the Strand!

spent the first 1/2 of my 6-year enlistment there, '87 to '90
RTC to ASW to NTC/SSC back to ASW.
every time I spoke to my Mom, she would ask me if the Navy was letting me cross the street again
