I’m just an ordinary shellback.

Good enough, says I.

“All me bloomin’ life”

Shellback, Blue Nose, Royal Order of Canals (All of them I think), Plankowner USS BELLEAU WOOD LHA-3, all former grey hulls are keeping Davey Jones company or worse, being used to shave.

Initiated and proud, never quit, always help a shipmate, honor, courage, commitment.

I was once on the receiving end of a pi$$ed off ETCM in 1978...this Master Chief had enlisted during WWII...he bellowed loud enough for everyone in the hangar bay to hear, “What the hell has happened to my navy?”

“I don’t know Master Chief”

“You new navy pukes make me sick, beat feet!”

So I did.
