Why?

When you buy me a beer as AS1Steve's hosted AE get together in Nebraska this August, I'll be happy to go into it in more detail...

Until then, it's likely a little political for THE THREAD, so I'll let it rest there.[:)]

1) thats emotional blackmail
2) if that the only way you can clearly articulate your thoughts?

[:'(][:D]

"if" that the only way I can clearly articulate my thoughts? No. I suppose I could use standard grammar, diction and punctuation. At least thats [sic] the way I see it. [:'(]

Errr....CB? It's AW1 Steve. Not AS. And AS is a sub tender. AW stands for Air Warfare operator (or in my day , Aviation Anti-submarine warfare operator), I might tend bar , but I never tend subs! (tend to , as in sink them , yes). Just a point "for the good of the order".[:D]

My bad. S and W are pretty close together on the keyboard. However, you're evading the point about you hosting the Nebraska get together (and buying the beer), *AW1Steve*. Are you serious about this or just engaging in so much puffery? [:'(]

Ooooh. "Puffery". Thats a legal term, right? [:)]

But you do "tend" to notice the little things. [:'(]

What - you don't like the boots?

Just think how cozy warm you could get with her on those bitterly cold Swedish nights ... how much fun she'd be for a little hokey-pokey in the sauna ... what a great guard dog she'd make for scaring off burglars ...

Sometimes I wonder about you, Pas. [:D]

Sometimes, I don't. Sometimes. [:D]

Good evening and good night, Brothers.  [>:]

[Mynok]

I do. All the time. [:D]

I was just made aware that today is the 65th anniversary of the Battle of Iwo Jima. My dad was a radarman aboard the Fletcher Class destroyer USS Terry, which was assigned a pre-invasion bombardment mission. The following is an account of the action that entailed.

At 02:45 on the morning of 1 March, Terry was assisting USS Capps (DD-550) in a search for a Japanese submarine, when a low enemy torpedo plane approached her starboard bow. He dropped his torpedo about 1,000 yards from Terry. The recognition officer spotted the intruder at precisely that moment and sang out "Torpedo Away". Terry leaped ahead at flank speed and came hard right. The torpedo passed harmlessly, 50 yards astern.

By 07:20, Terry was heading for a screening station north of the island. As she passed Kitano Point on the northern coast of Iwo Jima, an enemy battery opened fire and got the destroyer's range immediately. Terry responded with her main battery. Her high speed and radical maneuvers did not spoil the enemy's aim and, although eventually silenced, the battery scored a direct hit on the destroyer's starboard main deck. The starboard engine stopped, and Terry lost steering control and telephone communications.

Terry opened range with her port engine while USS Pensacola (CA-24), USS Nevada (BB-36), and some destroyers put the shore battery out of action. Ships and boats swarmed to Terry's aid. Medical personnel and repair crews came aboard in surprisingly short order. Her wounded received emergency treatment on board, then were transferred to hospital ships. Terry headed for the southern coast of Iwo Jima where she laid to for two days while undergoing emergency repairs. On 3 March, she cleared the Volcano Islands on the first leg of a long voyage back to the United States.
