"Does everybody get sick to begin with, or are some immune to those rough seas.
And, man, those are some rough seas!"

I used to get sick as a dog, ugh.
After while you get used to it.
Some are naturally immune.
I spent many a day in seas like this, and much worse.

I'm up early this morning to celebrate the fact that it was 34 years ago today that I reported on board for duty at Recruit Training Command in San Diego (CO. 659).
I'll always remember the warm welcome we recruits were given.
Maybe some would agree with me that every capable young American man should do a hitch and that it would be very beneficial to him throughout the rest of his life.
Of course this would be optional for the fairer sex and probably less beneficial...unfortunately.
