This is pretty old, but I just ran across it yesterday, and it's pretty entertaining.
Funny thing about it is that it appears that some of my shipmates have been passing along stories, because I know for an absolute certainty that some of these are exactly correct.
I asked the question about whether or not I really needed to get out of bed. Of course, it's possible that more than one person has asked that question in the same way in the history of the US Navy ... but ...
I think it highly unlikely that a couple of the other ones were used more than once.
I was there when OPS said "YES, THE XO IS A F***ING MORON," etc. This happened in about 2002, on a Mayport-based FFG. OPS' initials were CM, the XO's were RH.
The same XO was the one who had the statement about time management, too. The source cites the response as coming from OPS, but I can't remember if it was the same ops (CM) or his replacement (initials: GQ) that made the reply.
Jesus. Turns out to be a small fleet.
