"Make it do, use it up, go without." I quickly learned in the service to find the most respected senior NCOs/Petty officers, stay close, shut up and open my ears and eyes.My first "sea daddy" said the only thing to really sweat was running out of salt water. I learned to take SNAFU'S and FUBAR'S as a given. It's not hard to think outside the box when supply sends it somewhere else.
