Good for Boxer. Too bad the pic is showing a movement between Shepard and Truxton.

So the MC's can't even get the name of the ship right, huh? Okay, to be fair, I even spelled TRUXTUN with an "O" when doing their Week One Workup message for the det onboard while I was on her. I was quickly corrected by the CO (who was very cool). For those that know their JANAP, it makes much more sense when you spell their name wrong (and get corrected by the CO).

My dog is named Thruxton, and people asked me how I got a ship named after him, or why I named my dog after a ship.

My dog is named Thruxton...

That's a terrible name.

Story time.

 

[MasterBates]

I have two dogs. Both are named after Triumph motorcycles.

Thruxton: (big brown dog, ignore the barking rat next to him)

I've got you beat. Cooper's named after a brewery/malster company, who's very supportive of the homebrew community. And he picked the name.
