Everyone that was assigned to the barracks for compartment cleaning , while waiting for their clearance, had to also stand watch in the barracks and hallway.
One early evening I was standing watch and the OD cam up and told me to call in a Fire Alarm Drill. I got so excited that when I called the fire number I forgot to mention it was a “DRILL” . Boy oh boy was the OD and me shocked when we heard the sirens coming down the street. The OD asked me “Did you say FIRE DRILL and I said I think so?. Well it was a very embarrassing experience and I bet that OD never asked anyone to call for a fire drill again.
The next day I found a Fire Chiefs hat on my bunk. The guys when out and bought one for me to wear. I wore it once just do they could laugh at me and then threw it away.
