Dear CW-subs,

“Write on, er, Type On, Type On, Type On!”

[RepRivFarm]

I am deeply offended by this post.

Zot in 3...2....1.....

Lol. Congratulations! Now you are vulnerable to hoof in mouth disease like the rest of us.

Welcome aboard

[Big Red Badger]

Submarines,,,
I worked a little on DSRV’s,
Avalon and Mystic.
You guys are a Different Breed !

[deoetdoctrinae]

Welcome aboard, and thanks for your service. I may have the image wrong for the class you served on, but my heart's in the right place, lol.

I’m sure you’ll end up posting more than I ...

[Arkansas Tider]

I hope you saluted the ensign and OOD when you come aboard, if not it’s back to probation for you.

[Pollster1]

Salute the OOD on subs?

[ConservativeMind]

Glad to have you onboard, Cold War Veteran-Submarines!

[When do we get liberated?]

I thought you didn’t have to go talk to your PO anymore or let him know if you were out of the area> I was going to congratulate you and say “I remember the day myself.....”

But yeah, its neat you can post stuff now, too.

I am just familiar with surface ships protocols, got to do several joint missions with the navy EOD guys when I was stationed in Panama. Every few months a local fisherman would blow themselves up scraping dud ordnance on some outlying island, we got to clean up the mess.

I doubt I’ve ever been promoted on FR. They have to watch
me. I write long stories. - People over on Freeper Madness
like to criticize me from time to time. I once visited
there; tried to tell them President-Elect Donald John
Trump was gonna be elected. - They blew me off. Then they
effectively banned me. FREE REPUBLIC is OK. - I’m just
on a short leash everywhere I go. :o(

Congratulations!

There is a probation? Guess I’ve been here so long I don’t remember. Congrats!

Best gifts here for the kids: for the boy a real drone (he’s been taking a drone class for several months where they made their own drones) and for the little girl, a sold out Hatchimal. They are ecstatic. We could stop Chanukah right here. But I have to come up with more for the other 7 nights. Lol.
