REQUEST PERMISSION
TO COME ABOARD



CHARLESTOWN, Mass. (Jan. 14, 2008) The first major snowfall of the New Year blankets the USS Constitution. Despite the weather "Old Ironsides," remained open for free public tours. At 210 years-old, USS Constitution is the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world, manned by 67 active-duty United States Sailors and visited by nearly half a million visitors annually.

In the absence of Captain Connie, as the Exec I'll grant you permission to come aboard. Returning your salute.

Now do I also salute the flag? I'm Army, so I'm culturally deprived.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Love that Liberty call!

Enjoy your evening.

[Publius]

I'm executing my duties as Exec in as flawless manner as possible.

ROCKUMENTARY: FEBRUARY 14, 1983

I had gone from management into internal consulting, which meant I was the financial systems guru for the bank.

So what were you up to?

Cue the Rockumentary theme!

San Remo Golden Strings: “Festival Time”

#10 – Phil Collins: “You Can’t Hurry Love”

This was the Supremes’ old hit from 1966, and the video offers Collins singing all three Supremes roles. It’s good for a chuckle.

ROFLOL!

Evening Ma, you still at work?

[Publius]

Hey, the Navy has totally different customs! I’m only learning them 40+ years after getting out of the Army.

[ConorMacNessa]

Thanks very much, Maestro! You are not required to salute the Flag upon my boarding, but you may certainly do so any time you see fit.

I am prepared to give my life in their defense."

Happy Valentines Day.A day early Connie.

[Publius]

So upon boarding a naval vessel, the protocol is:

BOARDING OFFICER: Salutes the flag, salutes the Officer of the Deck, requests permission to board.

OFFICER OF THE DECK: Returns salute and gives permission.

Do I have it all?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Left early to take Mom to the doctor....home now.

You sure worked late last night. Tough job?
