I speak a bit of Southern, some Jersey, some Brooklyn. I'm very fluent in Navy, but really, it's just English with the f-bomb inserted every three to four words.

Isn't Navy just a dialect of Military?

hahahaha... That was funny. Yes, I have heard that language. There is a FOL base here in the island. I hear them speak Army... Not Navy. Not much difference I guess... 😎

I would say that, but the Air Farce guys I've met certainly don't speak that language and some of the Army guys seem barely fluent. Marines on the other hand seem to be as conversant as Squids. Must be because they work for them. 😀

Being prior enlisted in the Air Force, I guess it depends on who you hang out around. I've met a few that would turn a Marine "Air Force Blue".

(Reading this, I realized I misspelled "atinlay".) I was able to figure out most of that, but I have no idea what "eggegg" would mean. I'm not familiar with "eggspeak" (I'm sure there's a better name for it, but I don't know what it is).

Oh there are individuals, but the culture seems different. The Air Force bases were always so clean & orderly & mannered where as, except for boot camp & training bases, Navy bases are messy & chaotic. The people seemed to reflect the surroundings. The airmen I was around were all clean-cut & mostly nice. Squids... well... let's just say the caricatures have a very solid foundation in reality.

It works best on fridays with beer. Sadly no beer yet. Not sure where Egg Language came from but it's much easier to articulate than Pig Latin when you've had a few. Pig Latin has been known for some decades - didn't it originate in Eton?

Squids? Haven't heard this before - is it the same as Grunt, or our equivalent Squaddie?

True. I'm quite familiar with the Navy, my brother was a nuke in the Navy for 8 years. He threatened to break both my legs every 6 months if I enlisted in the Navy, which is why I went Country Club. I understand the mentality, since a Naval Vessel is ready to go to war in 4 minutes (Carrier, brother was on the Enterprise) or less from the moment they divorce themselves of shore power, and that my brother stated that the most dangerous place in peace time is a Man-of-War (in 6 years on the Enterprise he buried 40 friends due to accidents, etc).

Squids = navy sailors
