"Captain would make them clean all the toilets while out on patrol with a tooth brush after the crew had my curry sausages and the crew would of given them hell telling them that they shouldn't of eaten it. Plus with two dads if he was helping out in the kitchen he would given them food with laxatives in it and if you buffer was still on Hammersley you would of given them six days plus of seven eight hours of training each day and when return back to port captain would have them off her ship and have them face commander white of commander Flynn.
