I used to tell my SOATT (Significant Other At The Time) that I was gonna flog the donkey 20 minutes before the ship pulled in.....she wasn't gonna get that first post-cruise screw for free ;)

I changed my state of residency from NJ to TX when I got stationed in Corpus in '73. Carried that with me until I retired in VA in '95, and then promptly moved to FL!

Usually annoy the piss out of the Maintenance Chief.....

Wish I still had my gabardine cracker jacks with the liberty cuffs! HSL-34 (HSL East) I believe was green (Greencheckers) I was in HSL-32 also, but I stayed intoxicated and didn't notice the color of the Jerseys ;)

I met my ex (well, one of them) at the Tiki Bar at Sigsbee. Got married about 8 months later on the beach in Key West at sunset. It was very romantic... She wore all black.... That should have told me something!

I supervise several "millennials" in my unit (Local S. O. ) They're not happy unless you're blowing sunshine up their ass on a daily basis. My age group figures that as long as we're not getting yelled at, we're doing a good job.

Much as I like Kel Tec's, I had a hard time justifying buying their PLR-16 long range .223 pistol. Couldn't see an application for it other than target shooting. Just found this on the KTOG site today. Price point should be about $300.00 Be a whole lot cheaper to shoot too! I...

Thanks! Slightly different from the ones I remember. Guess it depends on the community. I DO remember Falcon 605 as being "If shit were concrete, you'd be a 6 lane highway 600 f_cking miles long! :)

Slightly OT, but does anyone remember (or have a copy of) the Falcon codes, sometimes referred to as the Southeast Asia Brevity Codes?

Probably an urban legend, but I hear that the Navy published a Dictionary of Naval Abbreviations, appropiately referred to as the DICNAVAB

The C & R is a great deal. You can order C & R guns on-line and have your friendly UPS delivery guy bring it right to your door. No going through a Type 01 FFL ( gun store) My delivery guy LOVES when I buy an 800 round case of 7.62 x 54! When you get yours, DO NOT sign the original copy...

With an obvious "Goat Locker" slant ;) MEMO From: Wardroom To: Chief Petty Officers Subject: Sensitivity Training. It has been brought to the Department Head's attention that some Chief Petty Officers throughout the command have been using foul language during the course of normal...

Todays Navy... The Navy I joined.....

When we took Enterprise out of Newport News in 94 for sea-trials, a few of us decided to "peek" by opening the doors in the Jet Shop and stepping out on the fantail. We were admiring the very impressive wake we were pulling when they hit the brakes. The wake started rapidly gaining on the...

Dudley's is MUCH spiffier!

Couldn't find a picture, but doesn't this look a lot like the uniforms the bad guys wore on the Death Star in Star Wars I?

Man, there is just something about a women in polyester.....

My youngest got his shore duty in Hawaii cut and has orders to the PRT's in Afghanistan. I'll send him over with one to zap a Humvee or something and ask him to take a picture. Course, he's a "shoe" so I'll have to explain "zapping" to him!

My Dad was a TM My Ex was a PN Her Dad was a DK My Son is a CT Where the hell did they all go wrong!

One of my old DIVOs left to fly for UPS. He said he choose cargo over pax, because cargo doesn't scream! :D

If we did the same thing that every other branch does, then we wouldn't have any tradition, would we. Personally, I liked standing out from the members of other services. There is no doubt which guy or gal is the sailor in a group of service people. The change in uniform from "cracker jacks"...

Been out of the active duty loop for a while. Care to elaborate?

My youngest son (he's a CT) got a 3 year tour of instructor duty in Hawaii cut short by 2 years. He has to leave Hawaii in December and go to Bragg for training. He then reports to a PRT in Afghanistan. This comes after 3 years of sea duty on a foward deployed CG.

I used to love wearing my aviation greens to work on the boat, if nothing else, just to annoy the shoes!

I think the maraca is a nice touch.....

I'm thinking about one for the home defense scenario. I have several firearms for "inside the house" protection. I'm thinking back to when Central Florida had 3 hurricanes roll through and I spent several nights ouside, with no power, making sure the goblins didn't decide that my house was a...

When I was in Norfolk, I was the squadron "scrounge" About every other week I would take a 5-ton truck and a stack of requisitions up to Cheatham Annex salvage near Williamsburg. You would not believe what the AF guys at Langley turned in! Not old, worn out junk, we're talking brand new, in the...

Anyone familiar with with the PLR (.223 long range pistol) or the Sub 2000 (9mm or 40 cal carbine? Looking for a new toy. I'm leaning towards the Sub because my carry weapon is 9mm and ammo is pretty cheap for it.

My primary carry weapon is a Taurus PT111 (9mm) I went with it primarily because of the weight. BUG is a Kel-Tec P-32

This would be the place to check if you want to fly big, boring aircraft... http://www.af.mil/

The AR / M-16 platform can't be ALL bad. After all, Al Gore humped one in Vietnam!

This one makes more sense..... http://video.tinypic.com/player.php?v=47nk491

Concur. He was very generous to us poor, underpaid "E's" at Ricks and Sloppy Joes when the RAG went to Key West for FCLPs

When I was NX Maintenance Chief in VAW-120, we had to time our low power turns with returning aircraft taxiing down the old seaplane ramp so we didn't disturb the residents of Willoughby Spit. The base CDO's and I were on a first name basis because they called me so often. Usually it was...

Wasn't sure where to post this. Caution: Strong language and definately NOT politically correct Disn't see this anywhere else on the board, so my apologies if it is a repost.

Maybe it's to cover the fact that they can't remember it?

I think Harry knows EXACTLY what he's doing

Always wise to listen to the Master Blaster :icon_wink

The caption on the second video reads: "Greenpeace - Boote drigen in sperrzone ein" Which I believe means "Your ass is mine!

Not sure of the source, but it was a fun read..... "There I was at six thousand feet over central Iraq, two hundred eighty knots and we're dropping faster than Paris Hilton's panties. It's a typical September evening in the Persian Gulf; hotter than a rectal thermometer and I'm sweating like...

Not so much nose art, but I remember it was right after Tailhook, that we became more "sensitive" hence, no more "Pukin' Dogs" or "Bare Aces"

Try this web site. It's geared for AW's http://www.awhangar.com/

You, my friend, have not experienced near the misery that I have. My ex was Puerto Rican - Irish. She would get drunk and beat me up THEN, spraypaint graffiti on my truck! :eek:

He's current playing the police LT (Capt?) on Monk

The French Marines at their finest! (Note the one guy with the pretty red "shoot me first" life preserver) http://www.digitalfog.com/gallery/frenchmarines.html

Hell, not MY cat. He's a hefty 27 pounds. Probably need industrial strength bungee cords

I remember the post-Tailhook "Bart Simpson" patch. The Wing absolutely banned the patch from flight jackets, so I wound up sewing them on the inside of the jacket. All you could see from the outside was the tell-tale stitching. Who says Naval Aviators aren't creative? :)

The Goat Locker in Iwo was pretty small (maybe 40 khaki?) but we "tipped" our mess crank pretty well every payday. As a result, there was ALWAYS sandwich meat and cheese in the reefer and ice cream in the freezer for those times after the mid-watch when you were feeling a bit "peckish"

I was on Iwo Jima (LPH-2) from 1985 - 1989 Were you the guy who kept pressing my khaki pants after standing the zipper pull up? (Martha Stewart Tip) If the ship's laundry trashes the zipper and you decide to replace it with velcro, make SURE you put the pile tape (the fuzzy stuff) on...

So was McCain-Feingold
