Well, I hope the “chronometers are wound and compared” … just sayin
Happy New Year!

Onboard the USS Dwight D Eisenhower while in port in Naples, Italy, I had the mid-watch on Dec 31, 1984. The Navy had just outlawed beards and my log noted that fact (as well as others) in a poetic form that I had prepared ahead of time. Later I was called on the carpet and was ordered to rewrite them. In the intervening 40 years I have misplaced the original. Otherwise I would be posting them this evening.
I would have loved to read the poetry, but I don’t subscribe to the Washington Post and have no desire to pay for something I won’t read but once in my life.
As a Navy widow and mom, I’m still interested in all things Navy, so this was disappointing.
