[Mike Scholl]

Considering the road net shown on the map, I think the "staff expert" musta been smokin'
some weed during his TOD

[Svar]

US Army 62-65 with the 82nd Abn Div as an artillery surveyor (can't remember the MOS), US Army 70-78 with 101st Abn Div in RVN and various other units in the US and Hawaii as a UH-1 crew chief (again can't remember MOS). Now work for the US Navy (2 more months) at NAWCWD, China Lake as an overpaid Aerospace Engineer. I just threw in the last to tell everybody that in August I can play WITP 22 hours a day (I need a couple of hours sleep).

Unfortunately, if my befuddled brain recalls correctly, he also made the USN dry. Now why they named a tin can after him, I'll never fathom...

Also, since a few have asked in the months past - the back procedure I had in mid March seems to have worked wonderfully well. The pain level is down at least 90% most of the time, and there are glorious complete days now when I have no pain at all. That is, until I get through with physical therapy. EGAD, you never know how much muscles can tighten up, especially if you have been inflicted with too many birthdays.

Hi, Prohibition made the USN dry.

[RevRick]

might have been a local legend about the Charlie Deuce, but with as many sea stories as we all told, begiggered if I know. I do know that the ship was officially dry, but they never seemed to get that message to the goat locker.

USN 1973-1994 AW for half and OT for the other half. Too many Marines on this thread

[spence]

Wasn't Josephus Daniels (Wilson's SecNav) who finally prohibited alcohol on US naval vessels and Coast Guard Cutters. BTW I'll chime in to represent the remaining Armed Force, the U S Coast Guard: hard core about which the Navy forms in time of war.[:D]

[RevRick]

Yeah, I think you're right. Shows you what comes from trying to do too many things at once - like walk and chew gum. Brain is fogged from packing, playing, and preaching; and since I can't preach about the relative merits of a 16"50 vs the 16"45, and the Decalogue is really hard to apply to the military at war, if ever, - I have to be careful. But it sometimes leads to a mental backfire.

[mogami]

Is that some kind of code for "I've been into the torpedo juice again" [X(]

It's said that marines are guarding the gates of heaven.....so, I'd be careful what ya swabbies say about us.....[:D]

[RevRick]

as it always is, it will take the USN to get you there, feed you, keep you supplied, and make sure the bad guys don't land there behind you, or die trying. After that, we'll pick you up again.

Let me add my time...

OS3 USS Waddell DDG 24 1975-78

40 knots no smoke!

[ColFrost]

I'm not ex-military, but....

My father was a Drill Instructor in the United States Army. Eighteen years of "Yes, Sir" "No, Sir" and "I don't understand, sir", was enough for me.

I had a NROTC Marine option to Memphis State, but I decided to go Division II and try to play football.

Does this get me in the club?[&:]

Guess that lets out us "Zoomies" eh? LOL! Active Air Force for almost 17yrs now. All we need is a few army types to chime in and we'll nearly have all the services represented. [8D]
