NORFOLK, Va. — A Virginia-based sailor is furious after his wife accidentally won the ship-wide "slutty sailor" costume contest this Halloween, although they were unaware there was a competition taking place, sources confirmed.
The costume contest, held annually for the junior-enlisted members assigned to the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72), has become the centerpiece of weekend celebrations each year.
“At first I didn’t understand what all the fuss was about," said Seaman Harvey Whitman, from Mobile, Ala. “We walked into the club and everyone started pointing at Kat. I just thought it was because she didn’t have a costume. All the others were dressed up."
