Turnabout is fair play

I might sell them for 5x the actual price to forward pukes, 2x for A-gangers and IC div, but my fellow nucs got them at cost. :-)

63 days. But I was on a Fast attack boat. Boomers do 90+

I took rolls of Kodiak to trade

A man after my own heart! F the Cone!

Patrol speed of 4 knots and the other crew to blame.

I sleep with the window open even in winter....if the wife goes to sleep first.

I don't recommend that at PD.

Well, that sucks.
I remember on my ship, out first Captain was a nazi ex smoker and banned it except for the 2 little 10’ X 5’ mooring stations.

For 3,000 Sailors and Marines (most of whom smoked), it blew chunks.

THEN, we got a Texan CO. HE opened it in engineering, the starboard catwalk and where the division Master Chiefs wanted to allow it.

After ripping out the Captain’s chair on the bridge and installing a La-Z-Boy, of course.

I loved that guy!

GIVE OUR SAILORS E-CIGARETTES!

Tied up next to the Parche once. Felt honored to do so.

Blind Man’s Bluff. When that book came out We all got briefed. The stuff we do, has no expiration date. Don’t talk to any one

Working a core replacement on the Teacup (-628) back in Maneuvering, the SRO smoked a pipe, the SEO smoked cigarettes, and the EDO chewed tobacco. I ended up smoking cigars in self-defense!

The fun part was, I deliberately chose Swisher Sweets or cheap 7-11 cigars. When the COB came back aft to check up on us...well, remember Slim Pickens and the campfire scene from Blazing Saddles.

:-)

I know the drill.

Well slackers aren’t accepted in the subfleet.
Liberals embrace slackers.
