Jog's old memories of a sea story my father told me (he wouldn't lie to a son now would he).

He was on a heavy cruiser the USS Helena with a brig run by US Marines.
They brought a prisoner on bread and water up topside to exercise on the main deck while they were at sea.
The prisoner jumped overboard and was never seen nor heard from again.

Plus I heard that you can't be a real sailor until you've been around the horn

I've never been around the horn
