Sweet Solutions
I was stationed aboard the USS Harry S. Truman from ’02 – ’05. At one point during a deployment, the Capitan found a candy wrapper in a P-way. What’s the obvious solution to finding trash? Geedunk (snacks and sodas from vending machines) were only to be consumed on the mess deck. Anyone caught eating candy anywhere else on the ship would be put on report. Now, it’s not like we organized a boycott, but the only reason to buy something from the vending machines would be to eat it elsewhere. If you were going to eat on the mess deck, might as well hit a chow line. 3 days of zero sales from the machines and the supply officer talked some sense into the Capitan.
