When I was on ship back in the very early 70"s, the deck hands and snipes would place our shirts and pants in the mesh bags when the skipper would gt in the turbines, and throw them in the wake. When done, they then went to laundry. All of the agitation would get a lot of the real tough stains and grime off them. Heck, we would do that same at times with the mops.
a kind message to you all

Snipe was those that where down below in the engine room. Now I was in the CG and the deck hands and snipes got along well since many of times we worked hand in hand, especially in drills.

And no need to thank me, I just floated around on a couple of ships and hung out at a NAS ... But you can thank my son - he did 2 combat tours in Iraq.
Chinatown Thanks this. -
Oh yes, don't call my girlfriend in Olongapo a chickengirl and don't call my Chinese girlfriend in Hong Kong a Pinoy. -
I can't.
All of that takes me just about an hour. -

Yes, and shaving takes that extra 10 minutes or so.
I can't fit in a shower in only 30 minutes though.
That would be like stepping in to get wet, and then right back out without actually washing anything.
