Imal and other previous vintage squids, including me, would like to take this opportunity to salute our current sailors and officers of the US Navy.
What an incredible group of men and women you are! God Bless you and may his spirit be with you as you pursue those who would take away our liberty and deny us the pursuit of our liberty!
We are very proud of you who serve in our great Navy today!
Go Navy and of course our Marines!

When I think about pig boats, I think about the old deisels.

And when the Marines hit the ground, they will be greated by Seabees because the Seabees 'Can Do'.

Nice post, I was active during Jimmie Carter's reign. Served on the target ship, USS South Carolina, may she rest in pieces.
Thanks for the insightful observations about Pearl, haven't been there yet, want to go so bad I can taste it. Someday ...

Navy vet bump!
Served from 79-88: VS-28 deployed aboard USS Independence CV-62, and NAMTDG 1039 NAS Cecil Field. Indy is decommissioned, VS-28 disestablished, and Cecil Field closed. Makes me feel old sometimes.
Those were good times with great people, some of the best folks I've ever known. Having nearly my entire enlistment fall during the Reagan years was just icing on the cake. A dang good time to be a Bluejacket.
