Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. 0730h
Answer: Seven bells
It is 7:30 am. Time for Morning Quarters. Make sure that you're squared away! This is a time for taking roll and ensuring that uniforms are serviceable.
2. 2200h
Answer: Four bells
It is 10 pm. That's it for the day. Ring the bells, pass the word for "Taps" and hopefully things will be quiet for the duration of the night.
3. 1200h
Answer: Eight bells
High noon! Did you get permission from the commanding officer to strike the bells? If so, then it's time for "Dinner for the crew"! Dinner is the U.S. Navy's equivalent of "Lunch".
4. 0800h
Answer: Eight bells
It is now 8 am. Turn to! Commence ship's work! Let's get started.
5. 1430h
Answer: Five bells
It is now 2:30 pm. That's it?!? This afternoon is dragging! I need a pick-me-up. Anybody want to make a soda pop run? I buy, you fly! This is a standard procedure among the enlisted.
6. 1600h
Answer: Eight bells
It is 4 pm. Knock off ship's work! Liberty call for everyone with the exception of today's duty section! Liberty runs from the end of one workday through the beginning of the next workday.
7. 0300h
Answer: NO bells! NO noise!
It is 3 am. Between Taps at 2200h & Reveille at 0600h, it is "Quiet Time" and should only be disrupted by/for an emergency.
8. 0900h
Answer: Two bells
It is 9 am. This is the middle of the morning workday. Generally, nothing of note or merit occurs at this time. Man, the morning is dragging!
9. 1230h
Answer: One bell
It is 1230 pm. All right! I've had Dinner (Lunch) and now it's time for a Nooner (forty winks) before I have to go back to the work space.
10. 0600h
Answer: Four bells
It is is 6 am. Revillie ALREADY?!? "Breakfast for the crew!" Ugh, I just stumbled back aboard a few hours ago. I really don't feel like eating. I don't even want to wake up!
11. 1330h
Answer: Three bells
It is 1:30 pm. Another boring afternoon. I almost wish that we would have a General Quarters (Battle Stations) drill to break up the monotony. Bong, bong, bong! Uh oh, careful what you wish for!
12. 1900h
Answer: Six bells
It is 7 pm. Ah, this is more like it! I'm at the bar at the end of the pier and tonight's game is getting ready to come on! Still, I can hear the bells from my stool. Good thing that I don't have duty.
13. 1030h
Answer: Five bells
It is 10:30 am. Well, it's mid-morning and things are running smoothly. I just hope that it stays that way until chow time!
14. 1700h
Answer: Two bells
It is 5 pm. "Supper for the crew!" All right! I didn't rush right off the ship at eight bells (4 pm) when they had "Liberty Call" so I might as well eat before I go to the bar.
15. 2000h
Answer: Eight bells
It is 8 pm. "Muster Duty Department Heads amidships with the Command Duty Officer! Make all readiness reports as required." The day's duty section will report on any outstanding issues that they may be involved with.
