Now look here "pilgrim!" John Wayne in the old Corps was a can opener. Can openers in the crotch were worth their weight in gold if you were hungry and had nothing to eat but a can of ham and motherf------s. Some of you might know what I'm talking about. John Wayne, he was a legend, while still alive.
The P-38 "John Wayne" can-opener, so named because "it can do anything,"
And don't forget the paper towels known as "John Wayne Toilet Paper" because "it's rough and it's tough and don't take sh*t off no one,"

For those here who have never seen one, much less had to us one:

I remember the p38
We used to open our cashews with those (we ate much better in the submarine fleet
)

I rode in the surface fleet, "targets". I couldn't understand the desire to go on a boat intended to sink!
Just had to rib you there! USN 1977-1981.

The John Wayne toilet paper is one I hadn't heard before that's pretty funny. I can't believe it, that's a post on two different threads about the Duke.I know this is a "fluff" thread but when you talk about the Duke I can't help but want to add my two cents. I guess you can tell which guys have a few miles on their odometer.

That submarine thing sure isn't for most people. The only Navy ship I've been on was a carrier and I thought that is the way to go. Plenty of room to stretch out and walk around and enjoy things top side. Being in the house for a few months during winter is bad enough. Being in close quarters with everyone else and not seeing the sun, now that is a rough way to make a living.
