I worked with an ex COD (C2 Greyhound) pilot. He said they used to put a cup of coffee on the dashboard of the plane and do a barrel roll without spilling it.
They would also send the new guy to the back to get more coffee and roll the aircraft.
Then, an ex-Marine aircraft electronics guy would send the new guy to the quartermaster to requisition 50ft of flight line.
The boss was a retired navy chief lifer, Great Lakes class of '38 and only hired guys out of the service or the college I went to. I heard lots of sea stories.
