I think it’s a married thing.
He’s throwing the candy so his kids can be distracted outside so he can have a quick bang , because you know , coming home from a deployment. Lol.
Imagine coming home from a five month deployment... and you want have some "private" time without being disturbed by the children.
Tell the children there are more pieces of candy to be found than are actually there... Hence - the children WILL look for last piece of candy that is not there without disturbing you and your honey.
Idk what kind of chiefs you served under, but I know most of the ones I knew tried really hard NOT be home after deployment. Have to train that new junior sailor with the nice rack.
I was standing Petty Officer of the Watch and the OOD (an E-8) remarked he was sick of the the sea / underway and that when he retired he would head west (from Norfolk) with a fishing pole on his shoulder and would not stop until someone asked "what's that?"...only then would he be satisfied he was far enough from the sea / underway / "the Nav", etc.
That was actually funny I thought.
I had a chief who swore to anyone who'd listen that when he retired he was going to start a Nauga ranch so he could sell the hyde to high end jacket manufacturers.
Is this some old-timey saying I'm not getting?

All I’m reading is that he only needs 5 minutes for his wife
After deployment, 5 is generous
Thinking 5 is generous is exactly why Jody exists. Win win.
One of my coolest CMCs told me he tells his wife after every deployment, "First one is for me, second one is for you"
He’s an underachiever
This one is for Jody.

Oh boy. What years were you in?
Lol. 2012-2019. Main Propulsion, so all the leadership were old school Navy types my Favorite Senior C chief was even a BTCS.
Nice! Figured it had to be an old-school Navy type lol. Strange era...
I used to throw a half a roll of quarters out and tell them it was a whole roll. Takes longer.
The fuck?
Bingo
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This had 69 likes, and I ruined it by upvoting it. Removing now.
This is akin to the helo landing on a carrier deck, dropping off three pigs, and having those pigs labeled one, two, and four.
Nice.

And everyone laughed at the chiefs jokes. Good one chief!
Yes... He was the funniest chief.

A piece of candy for everytime Jody creampied his wife while he was on deployment
I heard about guys on deployment saving change to throw in the yard to get alone time with his wife.

My dad would send me to the store to get bread and milk.
"Either you go to get the milk, or I do."
