It was a Saturday so it was time and a half. We were in the footings of the Silver Legacy in Reno. Another Journeyman and myself sent an apprentice after a box of level bubbles 45 minutes later he comes back with the boss and the boss is like what the fuck are you doing. Knock that shit off. Since we were IronWorkers we sent him after a box of endos. He came back with the boss again the boss said it's time and a half and your sending this kid after stupid shit do it again and I will fire you.
I think we sent him after a skyhook next. |

Saw a few new Amn doing echo checks on a/c engines on the flightline. Yell in the front, run to the back and listen.
Its great when you can get MOC to record it with the flightline cameras to show everyone. |

I sent a butter bar to the motor sergeant with a carefully collected exhaust sample.
45 minutes later, I got my ass chewed twice. Totally worth it to keep the LT out of the motor pool for the rest of the year. |

Quoted:
HA! Friend of mine has you beat. He sent a fellow journeyman electrician to get... A bucket of amps The journeyman knew what was up. He gets journeyman hourly wages. He'll "look" all day long. No he didn't. They had him carrying a coffee can with a piece of white tape written "bucket of amps" by hand on it. The can contained water and balls of duct seal. They told him he had to wear safety glasses and safety gloves to handle the bucket of amps. They told him he had to be careful carrying it because if the amps touched, it was all over, so they wouldn't be going back back to the work site the way they came, they'd be walking on the concrete slab, inside so he didn't trip...in front of everyone. Get the picture? But that's not all! Once they came back to the work site, they told him they were going to fill up the phases of a transformer to balance it.  They had rigged an empty bottle of water inside the transfo case, hooked to a tube leading outside the case. So they told him to pour the amps in the tube to fill up the phase. And he did. He asked them if it was enough and they told him to keep going, that it would beep when it was full. One of the guy was standing aside with a clamp meter set on continuity in his back and touched the probes so it beeped.
So the next morning they have the safety meeting with all 200 electricians. This is on a big mining project. So the guy goes over the order of the day " This. That. The other. Buckets of amps". All the guys in the shack look at each other like what the hell but say nothing. So they're about to finish the meeting and the foreman says " Ok, buckets of amps. Who here handles the buckets of amps?" So the guy immediately raises his hand. The foreman says"Ok, well, I just wanted to say... Welcome at Company X!" And all 200 electricians bust out laughing. The guy wanted to disappear.
So no, he didn't know what's up. |

1992, on our old Adams-class Destroyer, steaming into San Francisco, under the Golden Gate. Fireman Burns is holding a burn bag, which is about 3'x8', up on the forecastle, in the wind, fully inflated.
Captain: OOD, what is fireman Burns doing? OOD: Sir, he is collecting a clean air sample for emissions testing. After this, he's going to collect a dirty air sample from the fantail. Captain: Carry on.

Its great when you can get MOC to record it with the flightline cameras to show everyone. We used to have the noobs stomp all over the red lines to test the seismic sensors, while the desk sergeant would zoom in on camera and tell him over the radio to stomp harder or jump up and down. HMMWV/jet keys, blinker fluid, flight line, Fallopian tube, chem light batteries, grid squares, etc were fun scavenger hunts for the gullible. |
