Ain't nothin' prettier!

In another lifetime I was a Navy Wife. We were assigned to the USS Kitty Hawk out of San Deigo. That ship is awesome, and I recommend anyone who ever has a chance to tour a carrier to jump at the chance. It's an amazing feat of engineering; a regular "floating city."

And it doesn't hurt that those Navy pilots are darn handsome, polite and sexy as h#ll! ;)

I'm just glad that someone over there is losing sleep wondering what the carriers are up to.

Thanks. It's been a few years. I was on the old U.S.S. Boxer twice in the 1960's as part of a Marine Battalion Landing Team. The old Boxer, as you know, was converted from an aircraft carrier to an LPH. It would hold two marine rifle companies and a headquarters company. As a carrier, the Boxer was the first to launch a jet aircraft.

Not a problem. Just use a proxy server:

If you use Mozilla (Firefox) as your browser just go to Preferences>Advanced>Proxies and check Manual Proxy Configuration. Enter your server of choice from the link above. That's for the Mac version. The Windows version should have something similar as should other browsers. To test it go here: http://internetfrog.com/index.asp?source=g

A funny story..

I worked with a woman who's husband had been Navy pilot.

Her first visit to his carrier she had to use the bathroom real bad.

Since there were no 'lady's restroom' the husband stood guard by the door while wife used the Men's room.

She had never been a Men's room before and on coming out asked her husband

"Who are those little showers along the wall for?"
