Israel?

Lower California...... otherwise referred to as Mexico.

Lower California...... otherwise referred to as Mexico.

When I lived in San Diego, we use to reference Chula Vista as Chula Jauna...

I just came in from court and said W T F???? I cannot believe Lep actually did what I suggested, and make this a thread and sticky...LOL
Commander, Dan, USNAviator, I can't believe you alluded to how I outrank you in age but not in pay grade. I suppose my O-3 time doesn't count, as it does not approach the O-5 paygrade......I was going to say that my USMC grade, E-5, outranks any Navy rank, but would be too cold, even for me ))))))

Advanced and I out rank both of you. We were grunts.

[Mongoose]

And he even threw in the "sigh" on purpose because he knows it cracks me up when he says that as he closes a thread when folks are out of control and it's like a grandfather watching his grandchildren running wild, then he gets fed up and says time for bed! and sighs, like, why do they plague me so------first time I've ever seen Lep use it to OPEN a thread.
So, Dan, here, we don't have to worry about straying from subject matter at hand, because there is none to begin with.

Finally a subject Dave and Dan can relate to. A subject on nothing. ( just kidding )

[USNAviator]

I'll grant you that one Billy.

And since this is a place of random thoughts, I wonder how the word grunt became used to describe infantry

[USNAviator]

Another random thought. Met a shipmate today. I was walking down the sidewalk when I noticed a guy squatting down, coffee cup in one hand, another one with some change next to his feet

One other thing I noticed was that he was wearing a Navy ball cap. Well normally I pass on by but something made me stop. Seems this gentleman and I served on the Kennedy together during my first deployment. He was enlisted, part of the ships crew. I knew he wasn't full of bs because I asked him if he remembered the C.O.'s name. Damn straight he did

We got to talking, he hit some bad times, lost a few jobs. His wife died, well you know the story. He's staying in a shelter now till he gets back on his feet. I gave him what I had on me, offered to stake him to a meal.

We shook hands and then I turned to walk away. About 3 seconds went past when he called to me "Sir" I turned and he snapped off one of the best salutes I've ever seen.

Now I 'm going to lie, that salute brought tears to me eyes

Yes I met a shipmate today. And not only did we serve on the same ship, we serve together in the brotherhood of man

Random Thought ???

I miss Prell Shampoo.

Great story Dan. It breaks my heart to see people get that far down. And I want to thank you for giving your old ship mate what you could. Least of all, we forget our brothers. I think you would have made a great Marine, Dan.

[USNAviator]

I think you would have made a great Marine, Dan.

Billy I take that as an incredible compliment. Thank you sir

Fair winds from the Navy

[USNAviator]

You know I've always wondered when extra terrestials visit our planet, why do their space craft have navigation lights? Is it that crowded out there in hyper space?

[sparkie]

Crap..... I can't say much. The lizzard people are listening.

[sparkie]

Truthfully, have you seen things? The road in front is abt 50 yds out. Abt 6 months ago I saw a tall man all in black with wide brim hat gliding down the road a bit faster than a walk, and no walk/bounce. Since then my wife and son have seen him on seperate occasions. Do you bozzos ever see things?

When I was in advanced flight in Kingsville, I was flying a late night nav problem when I saw "something" It was light in the sky. It went verticle. horizontal, it stopped, it dived. It was pretty frigging amazing. I radioed into ATC asking if they had picked up any "anomalies" on their screens. Nothing. Then they asked if I wished to report a UFO. Negative on my part, that was a career ender. That was rubber room time

The next day in the Austin Statesman American, in bold headlines, two Continental Air pilots reported seeing a UFO. I felt better but I still kept my mouth shut

[USNAviator]

A lot of pilots report UFOs, a lot of state police and highway patrol troopers, a lot of citizens on the street---has to be something to it. Project Blue Book said there was.

Oh I agree Dave. If you study the history of reported sightings,they intially occured soon after the end of WW2 and our detonation of an atomic weapon

But Dave, that brings up a question, if there are more advanced civilizations, how did they get that way? Do they have a God? Do they believe in our God.

Oh wow my head hurts....

You know this goofy thread might workl after all!!

[USNAviator]

That Roswell incident wasn't a weather balloon.

I agree 100%. But hey it was handled by Zoomies. Oh sorry Dave, no offense intended.......
