The Navy was certainly gracious to you
The Navy was more than gracious. These young sailors and the young Senior Chief were wonderful, sweet, kind, polite, adorable, and, well, there aren't enough words to describe just how proud I am of all of them.
That they would go out of their way for us, after all they already do for us serving our country, was just amazing.
I was in seventh heaven on this trip.
For me, the combination of having SAM with me and meeting the crew and especially Brian was just something I couldn't ever have imagined and was a dream come true. I was so honored to spend some time with them.
Very, very well said young lady. I can't wait to see the additional pictures (see #24) and I'll "try" to refrain from any more Snippy captions. FWIW, when I kid like this with my wife she "slugs" me. It's a nice slug . . .
