Sunk by the USS Cole! Ah well the ship had a good life and served well.

I have memories (some good, some not so much) of being alongside tenders
in a few places like Catana Sicily.

Guess so, I was there twice.

I didn't get to spend much time ashore, but did get a to ride around the
countryside a little. It's a gorgeous place.

Yeah that made us all feel a little better about her going deep 6.

It was the first trip out for the USS Cole after she was repaired.

Yes she did. I still think they pulled the trigger a little to soon.

Hate to admit, I don't remember for sure. It might have been the
Yosemite. I remember many of the people, for good & bad... a female JG
who could not get a clue... an MR1 (shipboard machinist) who agreed to
make me a few custom parts and went an extra mile to make sure "his"
stuff worked properly... the female bos'un's mate crane boss swinging a
turbine forced draft blower between ships... it's been a lotta years.

When writting about the decline of the military,

Bobspud sputters:

And it's taken many years of awful leadership to make this happen.

Yes, I'd say about 8 years...When Hillary ran the government. You know,
the
don't ask don't tell years.

Don't let Christian sexuality cloud your perceptions. Julius Ceasar was one
of history's most effective an popular generals yet he was known as the
husband of every woman and the wife of every man in Rome. He was a true
omnisexual - if he wasn't screwing it, it was because it was screwing him.

Vito tells us:

I live near a major Guard and Spl Forces training facility. ALL of the
guardsmen I've met have a strong sense of duty.

All of the RESERVE or all of the Spec OPS. There is a BIG difference.
And how
many is ALL anyway?

Didn't I say "all of the guardsmen"? About two dozen, casually.

And as far as those mean young biker women, how many of them served in the
armed forces? And for how long?

Two did full hitches in the USMC, one is a lifer last I heard.

And what do they think of the National Guard?

Never asked

Do they go out with any of them?

How should I know?


And who was the miscreant? What service did he serve in?

Miscreant???
