I was a ground-pounder, but have to admit to LOL at a lot of these terms.  One example:

Dog: A Soft Serve Ice Cream machine. Named from the appearance of the Chocolate flavor in relation to a product of man's best friend. Also referred to as auto dog.

Cheers

The term for cooked food where I served in the navy and is still used is Scran.  Shit Cooked by The Royal Australian Navy.  The term 'dog' referred to hatchway handles.  "Always secure the 'dogs'

Kind regards,

Yeah, the USN had that meaning as well, "close the watertight hatch".

when i was in the Corps, NAS Cecil Field, Yellow Water Weapons Department was my PDS. we called all navy personal that were part of Naval Aviation Ducks or Lame Ducks. cause the ones that flew could fly and float, all others that didn't go up just floated.
