Yeah... I got the clap once durning FCLP's in flight school. I had to go see the corpsman before an early brief after I was pi$$ing yogurt for a few days and got the swab... second most painful moment of my life. Then I had to come back the next moring for my results... had to tell my head LSO that I'd be late for the brief. He said I couldn't be late but since he was a fleet aviator and spent many years on the boat I thought I'd fill him in on the specific reason why I had to be late... he said "no problem... for that I'll cover for you. Get here when you can, the Skipper will understand." So then the next morning I go into the corpsman for my results and he tells me the bad news... "Sorry Sir, we messed up your test and you have to redo it..." Hence the first most painfull moment in my life, the redo after I got the swab the previous morning. It's like taking a cheese grater over a freshly scabbed over wound. Yes it was the clap. I got it from a skank the week prior. Penicillin worked very quickly... thank god. When you pi$$ after the swab... third most painful moment of my life, followed by the fourth and fifth. But since you civilian guys wouldn't understand any of this, I digress. You all are geeks.
