So true. When your dad is a Master Chief Machinist Mate (that's a black shoe and if you REALLY want to get technical; a snipe or one who works below deck) then things are done one way and only one way. He taught me a lot that made it much easier for me when it was my turn to go to sea and probably a lot more in the grand scheme of things.
Perfect explanation!! Thanks.In U.S. Navy jargon, "gouge" is the essential piece of information; the heart of the matter; or outstanding test-preparation material (such as an old test copy). A person who is tired of hearing all the extraneous information surrounding a problem might exclaim, "Just give me the gouge!" Originated at the U.S. Naval Academy and introduced from there into the wider Navy, where it sees less frequent usage.

I used the term gouge last week on another forum and people were stymied about its meaning too. Now you guys have the gouge on the word gouge.
