Wow, that’s an amazing picture

[GeronL]

Yes. Now we have missiles though. Probably not nearly as impressive as a volley of those shells though.

[GeronL]

The range on those guns is over 23 miles. Wow.

Your Sons are wonderful Tax Chick, though I was Scratching my Head when Monkey said that Tom was the size of a normal human.

I thought she meant me!

I don't know any FReepers Personally so I was befuddled wondering if I had ever meet Monkey Face before! Lols!

[Monkey Face]

Nope, KC, very few FReepers have met me in person. Some are taller, but most are shorter. That’s not to say I look down on them, as I love them and all they have to offer!

Tax-chick has a large family, and I have visited several times. The children, no matter how tall or short, are extremely awesome individuals!

[fanfan]

Sooooooo Good!

[Tax-chick]

Monkey Face is taller than average for a woman, but Tom is *really* big now.

[KC_Lion]

Umm... I think the boat is cute too... ;-)

(Blush) Oh No, Stop that! I am red enough as it is already from Onyx!

The Iowa Class Battleships are the Pincal of Battleship Technology, they still do this day remained unmatched. they served for over 50 years and the U.S. Military are STILL to replace them.

The Marine Corp begged Congress to keep them instated. Missiles are Expensive, Delicate and Supply Runs low quickly, a 16 inch projectile coming in at Mach 2 is just a powerful as any missile.

I am so proud to have gotten to go on Missouri and I have seen the USS Iowa (in Suisun Bay back in the summer of 2001)

Me at the Missouri Memorial back in July of this year.

So COOL!

[GeronL]

and by pincle you mean pinnacle?

:p

/just messing with you

[fanfan]

It would be more fun, for sure.

[GeronL]

You look 12 in the first picture

[Tax-chick]

I saw Iowa in the 1980s when she was recommissioned and based in Norfolk. The competition to get a berth was fierce!

[Tax-chick]

You look 12 in the first picture

I was thinking that, too.

[onyx]

Where are your parents? LOL.
You’re too young to be all by yourself!

[KC_Lion]

Easy, That's Because I was.

I was exactly 12 in the Summer of '01.

We got Home on my 13th Birthday later in June on the 24th.

[Monkey Face]

FYI: I was the only one of seven children that my mother gave vitamins to, which she said was the reason I am tall. (I’ve been this tall [5’9”]) since I was 12...I went into the 6th grade at 5’2” and came out at 5’9”, and I’m sure it wasn’t the Catholic diet!

I am taller than any other member of my immediate family, including my two surviving brothers. But the way I see it, I’m not “tall:” Everyone else is just short!

Ohyes..and I have had dance classes since the age of two...these days, of course, the balance is all off, and dizziness creeps in quite often, but back in The Day...the long legs were useful... I never sat out an evening when a band/combo was playing!

[KC_Lion]

Where are your parents? LOL. You’re too young to be all by yourself!

Well, who do you think was taking the picture Onyx? lol

You don't a 12 year old took that boat and violated U.S. Navy Property by himself do you?

(The Iowa was still an official Navy Ship back then, be kept in a state of High Readiness)

[Monkey Face]

LOL!

We like the breath of Fresh Air! Your perspective is always welcomed!

That's Because I was.

I guessed right. I am not usually good at that.

[Not A Snowbird]

FreepMail me! I’d love to try it out.
