A gentle reminder from Ms.B: Please, no politics in The Canteen. The Troops need a place to rest, relax and relate, and that place is The Canteen. Have fun and play nice!

There's only three of us. I doubt they would give us that big table for only three. Not in the morning. Maybe at 3 in the afternoon they would.
IHOPs are dead in the afternoon.

And I don't remember the actual breakfast as much as I do being able to hang around the parking lot for awhile, taking pics, etc. That seemed more.....intimate? friendly? warm? Anyway, I felt more of a closeness and camaraderie out in the parking lot.

Aloha Night Owl!
Does that mean I have to go to bed now? I was waiting for the weather report and the next NK missile launch. Whichever comes first.

I see that you're a submariner. Ever get any flack re the hull number? A tin-canner I met who served on the USS BLACK (DD-666) wished he had drawn a better number.
But speaking of submariners, my father-in-law served aboard the USS TINOSA - the first one - during WWII.
In his day, future submariners were required to pass a specific swimming test. He never learned to swim, and got a buddy to take the test for him. Fooled the instructors and he got his dolphins. An FT 3rd class, he was on watch one night when an spotted a Japanese warship. A short while later, Tojo was minus one ship. His skipper gave him a bottle of whiskey for his efforts. He was a non-drinker so he stashed it away. Some time later, when he opened his footlocker, it was gone. He was more pleased with the broom on the mast when they arrived in Pearl than he was of the missing bottle.

Please note..."Good evening"......not "Good night". LOL!!
