Distance from berthing to the captains mess on an LHA. You've been on it 6 months but still are lost as soon as you get out of your rack. Thus walking every gangway and ladder well on the whole ship trying to find it. Captains mess always had ice.

PX Run :marine:


LOL PX run is the Highpoint of many a Marine's day. I remember when they brought out a trailer PX to the field on the big island of Hawaii. That was damn cool.
