Does this mean that I can't make any more jokes about the Navy? :)

Nope. Just remember who gave you a ride home and a cushy pillow to lay
your
head on. And let's not forget the yummy chow.

My ride home (and there come to think of it) was courtesy of the
United States Air Force, Material Airlift Command.

As for cushy pillows - HA!!! Pillows - ROTFL!!!

C-RATS left over from the Korean War - yummy...

I even got one that had a green package of Lucky Strikes - those were
from WWII.

Although I will say this - when I did my one and only float in the
Med, the onboard chow was superb.

They seemed to screw it all up shoreside though. :)

Which reminds me of the time I stood MP duty in...

Well, let's leave that for another time. :)


They treated you like baggage? Ask any Jar Head who has been on a cruise.
They loved the ride.
