[QUOTE="Roadking Larry, post: 3746728, member: 2833"] Way back in the long ago I had the privilege of standing watch as Torpedo Room Armed Security Guard while the sub I was on was in port. Now we were only required to post that armed guard watch if we had "special" weapons on board. Well the Friday before we had offloaded all of our "special" weapons but the command had declined/forgotten to stand down the watch. It was later explained as an oversite but we think they were just screwing with us out of spite. Anyway, I had the last watch on Sunday morning. Sometime during the wee hours of the morning boredom overcame me and I began field stripping and reassembling my issue 1911A1. somewhere around the 6th or 7th go around I managed to launch the recoil spring plug into the starboard torpedo room bilge, Oh Shat! Lucky for me a good friend of mine that was in the oncoming Sunday duty section happened to be the duty Torpedoman's Mate and the small arms petty officer. He came down to the torpedo room as soon as he came on board and dug spare out of the parts locker. He gave me hell about that the rest of the time we were serving together. [/QUOTE]
