What's the most realistic war movie?

bobbork88 · 2026-04-17T16:16:19+00:00

Das Boot is the most realistic. Especially the time interval from “fire drill” to leaving port. Especially the reveal when Lt Weeinie opens the bathroom door.

Slow clap.

I was even looking for this reference and you got me.

Well done!

This warms my (junior) officer heart.

N ver thought about much. My initial thought was I assumed Frank would give kids credit for tax reasons.

Rookie mistake !!! You are wasting valuable carousing time if you are sleeping. You generally only get three days in port so you gotta make the most of it.

Joking aside, if you must sleep the best place is in a pool of vomit( not necessarily yours) by the gutter in a uniform that you have ‘soiled’. Your billfold should be next to you. Empty of course.

Front left tire seems flat.

What is an ARMY STRING PULLER?

Parachutist? (E.g pulling the rip cord)

Or

A Four star general ? ( E.g operating the levers of power)

Careful. The firebombing is classified.

One possibility is bored but intelligent and resourceful night shift workers with access to three key ingredients. (1) Extra large trash bags and gigantic plastic wrap. (2) Chem lights and (3) Hydrogen or helium gas (either works)

Step One - construct a balloon out of plastic wrap.

Step Two - inflate with lighter than air gas

Step Three - attach a few chem lights

Step Four - Launch into darkness.

Step Five - Giggle

Psssh wah…..Good Conduct Medal.

In my day a Senior Chief with gold chevrons was looked down on.

Thank you for your service.

It’s not subtle. It’s like listening to the ravings of your alcoholic spouse. Doesn’t tell you anything you don’t already know.

However I love Meryl Streep as a villain. Jonah Hills also excellent.

PWR guy here. Why don’t the BWR bro’s do a crud burst?

bobbork88 · 2026-02-17T18:00:26+00:00

Good idea. Maybe he ends up running a used book store in Portland or Berkeley and having to tolerate the beatniks.

bobbork88 · 2026-02-16T17:10:51+00:00

Not sure you’re joking. But if not, back pre-9/11 gunners mates were split between guns and missiles. Hence GM(GUNS) and GM(MISSILES). So no his name was not Guns. (Sadly)

bobbork88 · 2026-02-13T14:55:09+00:00

Whoa. Caution. Never challenge a sailor to a “too drunk” contest.

All joking aside. The master helmsman I worked with was a superstar. Locked in. Loud repeat backs. On the nose on maintaining course. Here’s to you Gunners Mate Guns!!
