It isn't Lucky XXIII, but it isn't half bad.
Plus they're playing Def Leppard and AC/DC.

spraying your shoes and pants cuffs with permethrin helps reduce chiggers.
so does dusting your shoes and socks with 10% sevin - but the permethrin lasts longer.
Congrats on becoming a mod warrior! Just noticed it!!

Woodford Reserve is much better slammed than sipped.

Some people like to go on cruise ships. Not me. 5 deployments and an overseas tour in 10 years - why would I want to pay good money to get underway again?
My longest continuously under way period was back in 1980 - 110 days from "Underway" to "Moored". We set a record for conventionally powered carriers. I was on the USS Constellation (CV-64) out in the Indian Ocean during the Iran Hostage Crisis. Next longest was 89 days - the following deployment another 9+ month one starting 10 months after the previous one was completed, again to the IO on the Connie. The Enterprise (CVN-65) did NOT get out of the yards on time, so we had to move our deployment date up by 7 or 8 months.
I had 2 9+ month Westpac deployments and 2 9+ Westpac/IO deployments and a 19 month tour out of Japan in my first 5 years of active duty. Later added a 7 month Med deployment on a fleet oiler. Got another 14 months overseas, at 2 months per year for 7 years while in the Naval Reserves.
"Join the Navy and See the world" they said back then. Well, they were right. I got to see every continent except Antarctica and 20+ countries
Firepit????Home from work on a Friday night, my favorite time of the week.
Huh?Firepit????
Huh?
Thank you for your service zzy. Spent my time in a 120 degree tank in the middle of a desert with 3 other smelly Dumb Ass Tankers. The older i get the more i miss it. You only remember the good times.
Where do you find em? Just lyin around the campfire???As is the case with most alcoholic beverages I find.
Except that damn Apple Pie moonshine that FAL'ER gave me....I'll never drink that stuff again!! It made me puke on 710's shoes. Haha
Ah, gotcha. Nah, probably won't be doing that this weekend. I was thinking of getting the bicycles out, and riding out to the woods, and perhaps use the Emberlit, etc.You were going to tend to your overgrown firepit.
Thank you for your service.
I've spent a fair number of hours crawling in and around not-quite tanks (BFV), and a little time in the back.
Really couldn't imagine months or years back there. You guys are a different breed, and my hat is off to you.
