Classic NAVY story: Boot FNG sez to the old salt - "Say Chief they tell me you're gonna retire. Where are ya goin' when you leave the ship?" Chief pours another cup, puts his feet up on the rail and smiles - "Well son, when I hit port, I'm gonna put an anchor on my shoulder and start thumbing inland. When someone askes me what that thing is on my shoulder - THAT'S where I'll retire."

I was a boomer sailor (Ballistic missile sub) from 78-84. I was a cook. And to be truthfull, back then, all we did was party from sun-up to sun down. We did every drop of liquor and drug money could buy in ports all over the earth. WHile the sub was dangerous, it was nothing compared to some of the parties we had. I am surprised we survived. And then in 82, 18 sailors died in a heli crash on a carrier, and all 18 tested positive for drugs. Then President Reagan said "Drug test everyone, and boot anyone who tests positive" That was the end of my, and many freinds life of debauchery. But, of course we did in fact prevent the f***ing commies from overthrowing the world, so I got that going for me... --- GMcKinney wrote:

Why you need some decks mopped ? You do know what "MARINE" stands for right ? y ss avy quipment Always enjoyed picking on Marines, one Captain was really really easy to make mad, just called him Leuitenant all the time, then when he was screaming just say sorry... seen the Leuitenant bars. Now that Sgt Major took a little more effort, could only get him steaming mad when I put alot of effort into it. Dooden A15 Green Ape --- In DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com, "dirtrooster2003" wrote:

Good idea Keith. It wouldn't take long at all. I assume the travel measurement should be taken at the axle, as the travel distance will be greater at the back end of the swing arm than at the front. Ted - Denver
