One year my ship was in Malaga Spain on my birthday. When I got off the ship there were rumors floating about a general recall and emergency sortie because something had happened in Lebanon and we (USS JFK) were the carrier in the Med.

I was determoined to celebrate my birthday so I went into the nearest bar and consumed numerous rounds in this order:

Salt
Tequlia
Lemon
Beer

I think they poured me into my bunk that day. Two days later we were off the coast of Lebanon.

Yep... seldom does anything good come from to-kill-ya... well, good stories, maybe.

Test if it was good Tequila: Do you remember the two day cruise at all?
