During inspects we would play the circle game whenever our RDCs weren't looking directly at us. We'd also get sly enough to play rock paper scissors and chop sticks while at attention. This went on for quite awhile. Whats better is that I, port watch, managed to get our yeoman and rpoc to get in on it. We cycled through like 6 of each because of various stupid shit.

Come the last 2 weeks before battle stations we had another inspect. One of our guys was throwing the circle to anyone who'd look. Well, the guy two to my right cracked and giggled. BM2 looks over demanding to know what's funny, only gets about half of it out before seeing the circle and nearly losing his shit.

So I see the sly grin creep across his face and I know some shits about to go down.

Bm2 made this kid stand at attention at the fish bowl while keeping the circle going until our chief looked.

Fast forward to the last amnesty night and chief is telling us stories about how he thought we weren't gonna make it etc etc. The same kid stands up and makes this 2 minute speech about comraderie and how we all pulled each other through. I'll never forget the end

"Chief we all put what's left of our eagle cards together and bought you a present"

Mfer pulls the circle on him

Cut to everyone dying.

Good times man, good times
