Any Navy men here? (1 Viewer)

Saw this on the Twilight Zone last night.

The bald guy was a Navy officer. Certain noises were bothering him, so he went to that psychiatrist.

"4.0" is obviously a term of endearment, but what does it specifically mean? The Google machine was no help.

I wasn't in the Navy but I hear WetDream is familiar with Seamen.

You, sir, are insubordinate! Go swab the deck.

It's four-OH

It's for the most "ate up" Sailor. In other words, a star.

It's an evaluation grade, like a GPA, sorta.

So he should not have said "point" in that clip?

You're not helping with the gay connotations the Navy has.

No idea what the vernacular in the 1950s Navy was. It's like a 4.0 student, so I guess it's ok. But I've just heard four-OH before, without the point.

Ate up is an Army term.

Does the Navy have more of the gheys than the Army, AF and Marines? I suppose there is quite a lot of down time at sea.

Not sure, but they certainly have cornered the market on fat chicks.

My experience suggest otherwise.

The current use of the term is four-dot-oh. It also tends to get abbreviated to Four-dot or four-oh sailor. It means a sailor who stands out above the others. I have heard four-point-oh as well, but it isn't as common. It just doesn't sound as cool as four-dot-oh.

Ironically, about 14 years ago the Navy decided it was 25% better than every other grading system and went to a 5.0 scale for evaluations. Now, we still hear the 4-dot-0 from some of the old timers, but a lot of people now say 5-dot-0. So there is that.

I would say that the Navy definitely has the most chunky girls of all the services, but it is still far fewer than many parts of the country. AF chicks are the hottest. Army chicks are freaks. I have no idea about Marine chicks because you can't tell them from the men.

Any other questions?

There is another branch of the service that refers to them as Pier Qu**rs.

Do you get nervous if you get dirt on that white uniform?

No. I just try to do my best to keep it clean when I have to wear it. Lucky for me, I have only worn it once since 2006.

Ate up is an Army term.

Yeah, but not a good one. How does that jibe with the 4.0 student?

Sadly, no.
