Mother was not there to make sure you were a clean little boy.
So the games would begin....and I don't mean drop the soap.....hahaha.
The Torpedomen would start a contest on how long anyone on board could go without showering, shaving, brushing their teeth, and changing their clothes....The Stinkiest Guy would win the pool..........Man That's why it's called a "Pig Boat"
The "Nuke Boys" will never understand it, Right Geetrue, and Leeclose?

Hehe, well I don't think that is propaganda, just a historical site. I hope the cooks and whoever was the medic did wash though. BTW was it not possible to wash clothes with seawater, or did you just carry enough clothes for the patrol? :hmm:
