Is there interest in my creating a table of NAVY Veterans to honor those who served in the US ARMY? TO ALL ARMY VETERANS, THANK YOU!

Dear ARMY Veterans,

I would like to create a table of military service for those who served in the ARMY and choose to be included. 

Please look at sample of a table below which I have provided as an example. I'm open to suggestions, but this table is a quick way to get started.

If you would like to be added to the table, have a look  at the format I've created and repy on this thread to have your name added. Once I get the names, I can post the completed table in a comment at the bottom of this thread, which you can link for later reference.

Once I complete the ARMY table, I can post a new thread and invite another branch, complete their table, then another branch etc.

I have already gotten started building the MARINE table of honor, and the NAVY table of honor.

After I build tables for each branch, I would like to create a master table of all military who wish to share so that all user names would appear in alphabetical order and be easier to reference regardless of branch of military service.

If there's no interest in this table, please accept my gratitude for your service. THANK YOU!

Please correct my title. I am trying to build a table of honor for the ARMY and left the word ‘NAVY’ in there. Those guys are smart enough to figure it out, but I hope the title can just be changed. Thank you.

I was an AT-2 in the Navy, and had an aircrew billet in the squadron I use as my sign-on. I’m also a lover of history, and as such I believe the bravest naval aviators in our country’s history were the Army Air Corps crews Commanded by Jimmy Doolittle, who flew B-25’s off the USS Hornet in 1942 to bomb Tokyo and crash land or parachute in China (out of fuel).I’ll always remove my hat, and/or raise a glass to those men. I’ll always wonder if we as a nation are worthy of their legacy.

We had some good Navy jokes when I was Army. Trying to remember one now, but I guess I’m getting old.

I was Navy long before I was Army. Navy, 4 years enlisted. Army, 16 years officer.

But, I don’t really care about being included in a table.

USAF, retired. 👍

I joined the Navy to fight in the first Gulf War. It was over before I got to boot camp.

...just say’en...

...I was in the Army’s Navy.

At Ft Eustis, trained as a coxswain on a variety of Army vessels. Then assigned to Mare Island California to the NIOTC school for PBR training. Then RVN. Now retired with 26 years of service.

Good luck with your project👍

We have anonymous monikers. Why would we want to have our names on a public list?

“We had some good Navy jokes when I was Army. Trying to remember one now, but I guess I’m getting old.”

How does the Navy separate the men from the boys?
With a crowbar.....

The Navy has really been where it's at the whole time -- so much to sea!

It's the very origin of being a wake, oar to set a watch.

"Join the Navi the world!" Just ask Jonah, a sole worth his salt.

People will swear though that the Army beats Navy, but even the saying is to "swear like a *sailor*".

Is there interest in my creating a table of NAVY Veterans to honor those who served in the US ARMY?

Well I guess that answers that question, as there's already been a request for a title change!

[Larry Lucido]

Here’s one that I recall from 43 years ago. The branches of service can be interchanged as needed.

********

A soldier and a sailor were in the room Army people call a latrine and Navy people call a head.

After they were done, the soldier headed for the door and the sailor to the sink.

“Hey!” yelled the sailor. “In the Navy they teach us to wash our hands after taking a piss.”

The soldier replied, “in the Army they teach us not to piss on our hands.”

[Larry Lucido]

And, of course, there is the one about not making a Marine Corps joke in front of five Marines because you don’t want to have to explain it five times.

[Ezekiel]

Brutal!

Now the Bible mentions those who do that against a *wall*, inherent proof that they weren’t sailors!

In case anyone might wonder where that took place:

1 Kings 16:11 And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne,

that he slew all the house of Baasha: he left him not one that pisseth against a wall, neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his friends.

It’ll be easier to maintain if you make the table your FR profile.

It would be, but have you SEEN my profile? I’ve filled it like an old garage! :D

Sometimes one moniker will see that another moniker served on the same ship, or was in Iraq at the same time etc and then they chat or make jokes.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.

I will create an AF table next. :D
