Here's a nice story:
"I see him! I see him," shouted Simmons as he spotted the distressed swimmer.
"That's not what we say, what do we say Isaac?" asked Petty Officer 2nd Class Roderick Ansley, the crew's rescue swimmer.
"Oh yeah, mark, mark, mark," exclaimed Simmons.
Ansley was cutting Simmons a little slack as Isaac Simmons is only 7-years-old.
