Simple, it's a port visit without full embarkment. CO probably decided
it was ok. Nothing wrong with that. If you had a slight clue as to hard a Sailor works, how little they are paid, and how long they're gone for, you'd understand why something like this is a huge deal. Probably the only time in their career this will happen. It will go far in motivating them to a deeper motivation in serving. John "Don White" wrote in message ...

Tim, According to Don own admisstion, he is a "Newsgroup Troll" http://www.binaries.net/articles/newsgroup_trolls.htm Newsgroup Trolls What are Newsgroup Trolls? Newsgroup trolls are people who join a Usenet discussion group or newsgroup with one goal: to provoke other newsgroup subscribers and to cause a flame war. A flame war is basically a bad argument where discussion becomes very heated, people get angry and verbal abuse is often used. A newsgroup troll uses provocative and slanderous language to provoke other newsgroup users. According to Don, he made this post for the following reason: "I must admit I threw the bike issue in just to rev up a couple of the regulars in here. Looks like I'm getting more than my monies worth." It was also one of his infamous Canada vs USA trolls. |

In a lot of ways, Chuck is right - the group has gone to hell in a hand basket. I've tried to keep things light, break up the little spit fests and shoe peeing contests with a little humor, fool around a little, but you and the usual suspects are like addicts - you have no wish to reform or even try. Unfortunate. |

I resent that. I've got most of the turds in my filter-out file, and probably comment on only one in 10 of the posts of those guys, and only after someone else has regurgitated one of their "bons mots." It's a giggle that Herring and Reggie complain about anything here, since both of them come here mostly to snipe at the posts of others. Keep track of their posts for a while, and you'll come to the same conclusion. |

I wonder what picture he sees in his head when he finds out his ship's going to the Mediterranean. "Oh boy - Mexico! Absolutely true story. I'm in the Post Office and talking Red Sox with the Post Master. In walks this well dressed guy and asks where Woodstock, CT is. Now on his way into town (and I know this because I saw him drive into the parking lot) there are twelve signs saying something about Woodstock. For instance, right at the Putnam/Woodstock town line there is a HUGE sign waying welcome to Woodstock. He had to pass Woodstock Plaza - another big sign. He had to drive past the Woodstock Fair Grounds which you can't miss. The huge Woodstock Community Bulletin Board which posts things like retirements, homecomings for troops, town events, etc., named oddly enough, the Woodstock Community BB, Woodstock Commons. And as he pulls into the PO parking lot, there is a huge sign that says USPS Woodstock, CT, S. Woodstock annex. Now get this. He's looking for NEPS (a local handicapped/rehab place that does work with the more challenged of lifes's inhabitants) in which the S. Woodstock PO is located - another big sign right next to the car. Here's the funny part. The Post Master looks at me, I looked at him with this "WTF?" look and the Post Master says "I have no idea". So the guy thanks him, turns and walks out, gets in his car and leaves!! Abut two minutes later, he pulls back in, gets out, slams the car door shut and stomps into NEPS. :) Canadian? Hey, excuse the interruption, but...your pictures 'over there' were great! You must have had a blast. Where were you flying? I flew out of Buchanan Field, Concord. We flew on the back side of Mt. Diablo. The Sacramento Delta to the North, SF Bay to the West, the mountain to the south and Los Vaqueros Reservoir to the east. OK. I though it may have been the Long Beach area with all the tanks, but I couldn't spot anything familiar. Now I know why! |
