There were a number of minor errors in this article, including the number and name of the warfare quals chops can earn and the name of the Chief. -- SuperChop—Preceding undated comment added 00:12, 13 April 2005‎

First I heard of that. Great to see there's a sense of humor at the 50K ft level. Page has also been posted on warchop.com :)— Preceding unsigned comment added by Warchop (talkcontribs) 19:05, 8 October 2005 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wbm1058 (talkcontribs) [reply]

Nickname "Lamb Chops?"

[edit]

Never heard this before. ALWAYS "pork chops." HedgeFundBob (talk) 20:52, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is a new one for me too. I have done submarines (chop) and CVNs (pork chops) and never heard this term used before. --Leadgeek (talk) 22:12, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I had one shoe call me a lamb chop, but he though he was being funny. Our entire ready room as well as ship's company called him lamb chop for the rest of deployment. Maybe longer as we didn't go back to that boat afterwards. I'm surprised Leadgeek was called pork chop on the boat. Both carrier I visited, Suppos were called Suppo or their billet title. Only submariners called us chops. 5k61htv9l (talk) 01:21, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Richard Nixon

[edit]

...was never a Supply Corps officer; he did serve on a supply ship in the Pacific in WWII. I contacted the Nixon library to verify this (and I know that the WWII portrait of Nixon in service dress blues does make it look like there might be a supply corps leaf instead of a star on his sleeve) and there is no idication that was an actual supply corps officer. Someone, please delete this name from the list.

Leave Ken Lay's name though. That guy was definitely a supply officer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.162.0.44 (talk) 19:51, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
