When caught sleeping on the job …
Raise your head slowly and say, “… Amen.”

I’m sure that a-women would be acceptable.
…when walking about, while on duty; always carry a piece of paper in your hand, or on a clipboard, to make it look as if you are actually doing something. A writting instument is optional !!!
You could carry a specimen bottle half full, around, with a label large enough to read, in your hand…that sometimes gives the impression that you are on some sort of mission !!!
All this is to actually do nothing; in order to stay out of trouble, doing something......!!!!I used to go into Main Engine Room Number 1 with a clipboard and flashlight. I’d shine the flashlight into the darkest corners, then write something on the clipboard.
It drove the engineers nuts! I had a ball.
Oh, yeah. On the clipboard was my Food Service Inspection form for inspecting the galley.

Since I was in the Main Engine Room, I knew what was in the corners and I knew you were fakin’ it.
Besides, we didn’t allow anyone other than Snipes down below, so you didn’t stay long!
Maybe you were looking for the remains of past snoops that went missing or AWOL at muster.

BS. Me an’ CHENG was tight. I had full run of the engine rooms. Besides, I was workin’ on my EOOW Quals. 
Somebody break out the shovels quick!

We only saw the Old Man down there once. And he only came down to admire a mural we had painted on the DA Tank. A huge ugly vulture perched on top of a bronze screw!

We didn’t have any of that ancient technology. We had gas turbines. Our CHENG was a Mustang MMCM, which is why we got along so well. We worked together to make things better for the guys in the hole.
He and I used to relieve tension by arguing about potable water. We had one such argument in front of the Squadron Medical Officer, Cheng was getting the better part of the argument because he cheated and read the manual. The SMO thought he needed to save my a$$, so he stuck his oar into the pond. We both turned on him and told him to back off, that this didn’t have anything to do with potable water, and then carried on as if he wasn’t there. The poor guy was confused until I told him what was really going on.
