That did clean them up good. That was one of my jobs as a compartment cleaner and I looked forward to it. I got to hang out on the fantail for a while.

Don't laugh. One of my coworkers at Southern Bell in Charlotte did the same thing in the 1980s. He was assigned to NCNB's headquarters downtown. (Now Bank Of America) People were complaining that it was warm at one end of a space and when the A/C mechanics checked they found he'd cut a hole a foot square in a duct to cool off the equipment room. He was one of our general F/Us and had been put there because he wasn't allowed to drive company vehicles anymore. Too many wrecks. He should have been fired but the union kept saving him.

[@flipflopsguy8868]

I had one of those “enhanced vent supply” ducts, covered with a strip of duct tape painted to match. Also had a flapper valve in the pipe to shut off the whole stack of racks. Originally it dumped air under the bottom rack, the guy on the deck hated it and kept socks stuffed in it, so those of us in the stack built individual vents and everyone was happy. Of course the threat of sliding a greasey fart down the vent was always real!

We found that the best way to distract the inspector was have a hot cup of coffee waiting a leave a pile of Playboys and Penthouse magazines laying around and he would spend his time drinking coffee and looking at the naked women until he had to go and not even bother to inspect.

Everyone who has ever served knows that “bullsh1t”, in my opinion, is second only to drill on the hate list of the junior service personnel, “bull nights” for those in single accommodation were the Bain of social life, Friday afternoon cleaning parties of work areas, painting grass green etc etc etc, but even then we knew that they were necessary, most people could be relied upon to keep standards up, but then they were let down by the few, so cleaning Rotas were needed and inspections, as this film quite rightly points out, cleanliness and sanitation have very high standards for very good reason. But one thing that has always amused me is the armed forces have very high sanitation/cleanliness standards, but if a very unfortunate person dies whilst at sea, then the SOP is to empty a freezer and put the body in, ok, in a body bag, but still!!!, it might not be SOP now, I have been retired some years.
