‘Twas a long time ago that the acronym “FTN” was birthed. No sailor knows its exact origin, but every sailor knows it’s meaning. On every single Navy ship you can find the letters “FTN” bitterly carved with pocketknife or screwdriver on bulkheads, written with sharpie on lockers, and even scrawled with fecal matter on bathroom stalls. FTN - Fuck The Navy.
Ah, but what about “807”, you ask? Good question little bears, good question...Well legend has it that on the USS Carl Vinson, a disgruntled sailor wrote in a bitch book his reasons for wanting to get out of the Navy. He wrote a different reason for every single day of his enlistment. 6 long years, that’s 2,190 reasons. And number 807 was “This place sucks.”
There you have it little bears, a bit of arcane Navy knowledge, now you know, and knowing is half the battle...
