Hey Nick... Happy Birthday and tonight turn your carrier into the wind! Soon I'll have my colonoscopy and I hope the VA doctor has a small ring size, and that he remembers to remove his Rolex. - Rear Admiral Roids ?

My best wishes for all my Navy relatives and friends out there. Every single man in my family has always served our country...most of them Navy. I was the only one dumb enough to be a Marine. Oh, well...my uncles still love me.

My neighbor is an old Salt. He plays with his boats in his pond and I crawl through the grass attacking "rats with tails".

My current favorite Navy dude is a Corpsman I'm assisting in the Wound Warrior Program and "SemperFi Fund" at the VA, in the Poly Trauma Unit. He's a good man. Especially since he's willing to be seen in public with me. (smile)

Nick, at ease, man!

I didn't know the Navy had a birthday I just thought they existed to taxi the Marines around the world.

No kiddin', well Happy Birthday to the Navy and any other 'Swabbie' within shoutin' distance.

And Happy Birthday to the 'Gator Navy' too, those are the ones who run the Taxi service.

Tom, hahaahahaha Nick said to tell you they are. I wish he liked to use the computer. He loves to rant but does it at the TV all the time. haaha

I showed him all he has to do is just sit here and type and I can post things for him. sigh Maybe one day he will change his mind. I figure better not push it and let it be his idea. giggle

He is getting a kick out of what is being said in this post.

PS: Gunny Dad would take his USAF son to the Marine Corps Birthday celebrations on... November 10? Yeah I had a mess dress deal.
The Corps know how to party. I didn't know that if ya needed an ash tray, sailor 'covers' would suffice?
