What's Dramamine?

Dramamine is for wussies and non-quals! Be a man and tie a garbage back to your belt loop "in case of emergency".
On manuevering watch out of Charleston, SC, we used to break out the cigars (before they banned smoking) and sardines while we were rocking and rolling on the surface, just for the added "atmosphere". It was often just enough to make the Nubs hurl.
I admit though, I was seasick once. I was a Nub (Non Useful Body) and it was my first underway. We were on the way out from Mare Island Naval Shipyard in Valejo, Ca. and it was unusually rough. I was "cranking", washing pots and pans in the galley, and watching that food and grease slosh back and forth, back and forth in the deep sink, the smell of the aux. diesel exhaust getting sucked down the bridge hatch, the nervousness on my first underway, ...next thing you know I was "praying to the stainless Gods"!
