3. Anchors Aweigh!
Anchors Aweigh, my boys, Anchors Aweigh.
Farewell to college joys, we sail at break of day-ay-ay-ay.
Through our last night on shore, drink to the foam,
Until we meet once more. Here's wishing you a happy voyage home.

5. Yep.
And at the ceremony, they will say "Thank you Mr President, just doing my job".
Only this time, the salute will be genuine and the respect in their eyes will
be obvious. Finally.

10. K&R
Edited on Sun Apr-12-09 10:31 PM by kster
:patriot: My dad and bro served, so my other brother and I didn't have to. My dad would always joke with my brother telling him that he (my Dad) served when the ships were made of wood and the men were made of steel. He said when my brother served the boats were made of steel and the men were made of wood.

:toast: to my dad, brother, and the navy.

This is my dad's last ship he served on before he left the Navy, after 24 years service, in 1985. :-)



Neato, huh?

20. that's a load of bull. I was a submariner.
But I was also a yard slave and a nuke, so that might have poisoned my view of my naval experience. It also might just have been my boat. My boat treated the cranks like garbage, but I went on a ride on another boat and they didn't shit all over them.

18. Yeah.
This old soldier will make his usual Navy jokes some other day. The hostage rescue was a dirty, necessary task which in this case was executed with split-second precision and no collateral damage.

A bad job, done good. Go Navy!
