On a warship it is usual, nay, expected practise to courtesy flush. Not necessarily to remove unsavoury odours but to decrease the likelihood of blockage. The mt's (marine technician's) first question upon arrival is whether there was a courtesy flush. A seasoned hand will respond in the affirmative regardless but a greenhorn, should his/her response be "huh", will find themselves elbow deep in shit under the watchful eye of the supervising mt.
