I had one of these little bastards pull and ticket me for going 11 in a 10!!!!!! Went to the Provost Marshals office and they told me “ Sarge, the best thing you can do is pay the fine and leave. We train them here and it stands!”

People look at funny when I tell them I’ve never been seasick but I got landsick once. Threw up about 5 minutes into port. Cleared up when the peer finally quit swaying.

One of the newer engineers went on an engineering inspection with me recently aboard the CVN-77 while they were at sea.

The minor movements of the ship bothered him the first couple days, and I told him not to worry, he'd get used to it soon enough. After a couple days, he was right as rain.

Then I explained how he'd have to get used to it all over again when we got back to port.

He told me later it was about 3 days until things completely quit moving after we got back.

When I was in the reserve the (old, now decommissioned) USS Kennedy was steaming down the east coast to go to Pensacola for carrier quals for flight students. They put out an APB for any reservist who wanted a few days at sea. To that point the only sea time I had was on floats on gator freighters, so what the hell, why not. We were off Florida when a tropical storm was riding the eastern edge of the gulf stream up the coast; the roll was incredible. There were alternating footprints on the deck and bulkhead: you would take one step on the deck, the other, on the bulkhead. That was the second and last time I got seasick. The first was doing diving ops and we had surface chop, waves/swells about 10' high. Inflating my BCD and riding the waves up and down, up and down....that did me in.
