Words that make you go all misty eyed

[Skunkmiester]

Hi there, I've just found this forum and whilst scanning through I noticed someone ask "What's the Buzz?" Crikey, I havent heard or used that term in a while. Made me sit there for a couple of minutes and remember it's use with happy memories.

I met another ex Bootneck last year working for the same company, we were down the pub spinning dits and he suddenly went "tss tss" (hissing sid for non booty's) I nearly lept out of my skin, funny how a sound or word can bring back memories.

Anyone got any others.

I realise this won't mean much to those still serving, it's more for those of us that have been out a few years.

One that still does is for me..."front support position, bend....stretch......"

At the risk of going slightly off-topic:

For me it isn't a word or words, but a smell: Jet fuel/exhaust
I was working at a local airport the other day when a Cessna Citation V bizjet taxied past the hangar I was in. The smell of that burning kerosene took me straight back to those days aboard the carrier. That smell permeated everything on the ship; clothing, bedding, and even the food at times!

What does it for me is the smell of diesal. Took the Navy Cadets down the USS Columbia and the first thing I smelt was diesal. Diesal on a Nuke, you may ask. Yes, they have two big donks for emergency and they had used them to shift berth the previous day. Carry 48,000 US gal of fuel
