PERS-42 Releases Annual "Drumbeat: Swimsuit Issue"
Swimsuit Edition of the Quarterly Newsletter Breaks Circulation Records
MILLINGTON, TN (SPG) - The submarine officer detailers at PERS-42 have published their annual “Swimsuit Issue,” featuring full-page photos of the staff members flaunting the hottest new bikinis and speedos between articles on reducing shore tour length and how to ensure your documentation is updated for the O-4 selection board.
In the centerfold, the JO sea detailer LT John Crane is posing in his cubicle in the Millington, TN offices wearing nothing but swim trunks and a fully-unbuttoned khaki blouse (no undershirt) as he types an email letting you know you’ve been red-detailed to a Guam boat.
The Swimsuit Issue is often a source of controversy, as many complain that the models are breaking uniform regulations and that the photoshoot delays the already-backlogged orders routing process. However the PERS-42 division director, CAPT Mark Smith, argues that salacious photos help them get the message about Shift Eng Incentive Pay more effectively, and there are no plans to abandon the cherished tradition dating back decades.
