When I was in sub school in New London, they made us do "field days" after class - mopping, buffing and, of course, polishing up the "bright work". Never Dull was a big no-no. Of course, there was always a can stowed away and we would tear off wads and cut our field day time in half. Made that brass shine like a new trombone - for about twenty-four hours. Then it went straight back to Dullsville - which is why the Navy wasn't so sold on it.
