Does the heart good to see all the Navy vets here. Wonder if there's a correlation between being a sailor and having the good sense to wetshave

I always wanted to be a Marine. Unfortunately, my flat feet cause me to have some strong back pain at times. I was turned away.

I salute those of you who have served though. Well, not a real salute. Again.. I was turned away.

No combat, but manhandling drunken english Royal marines comes pretty close in my book...

Proudly served in the USAF '80-86 - some of the best years of my life!

**Lefty** · 08-07-2008, 09:28 AM

Oh yeah, I DID THE DITCH!

Never really thought about sailors and wetshaving. Plenty of water to go around out there. Miles and miles and miles...

Lots of "Old Navy" salty sea dogs around here. Good to know!

**bmulbrook** · 08-07-2008, 11:40 AM

That was a great video. We have all lost a lot of good friends.

**Lefty** · 08-07-2008, 01:53 PM

I finally watched the video Mantic. At first I wanted to say Hoo Ra Chief! Then I got sad. Why do you want to make me sad Mantic, why? I do not want to be sad.

On the serious side, good flick. It's true, many have been lost. Glad to have met each and every one of you.

And I will promise to not try to beat up any Marines next time I'm in a bar. Promise this time, Captain. Honest.

Yes, I have "seen the old man" (been to CO's Mast) for an "incident" in Bahrain with Marines. I think it is in my service record right next to my Shellback entry. Oh, why is it always Marines!
