That's flipping gay. We should get vertrep back! :p

I was on the Nassau in '05-'06 for all the work-ups, the Haiti relief mission, and the long cruise. I missed all the Katrina action because ole #4 was broke dick and single screw in the Atlantic.
We missed each other, I was on the Iwo Jima '03 and '06... Now that I've uttered those words, I want to kill myself. It was that bad.
 
I did a few work-ups with the Iwo, can't remember when though. The new LHD was like a Cadillac compared to the old ass LHA that I was used to.

Look at the two little heads in the door -- layin' down & lookin' ... I love it. :)
 
One of the things I took from the four hour helicopter brief A Pool received yesterday was that vertrep is not going anywhere. So you got that going for ya.
 
Well, I guess with everything else on this site, you've brought it upon yourself.

Meh, if half of my posts weren't actually rife with a misogynistic, sardonic, sarcastic, self-loathing sense of humor, I'd be in a lot of trouble. :)

You're in that group of people that just tries too hard at everything, and everyone around you knows it.
