Re: my shipwrecked '63
I'm headed to the ship- going for my 7th war patrol in the last 2.5 years.... why I say "war patrol"..... we are stars in this show called "WTF was that!?" as something is sure to break and be a scary situation. I am not going to downplay soldiers and Marines who have seen combat...

There is a lower income apartment complex at the corner of it, and there is no crime in there so it's...

Re: my shipwrecked '63
Haven't left just yet- shakedown tomorrow. I am hoping we dont sink before we even leave.
I am going to place an order for the silicone hoses when i get back from the shakedown.
I really need to force clean the passages again, and get the block brush out.

Am a week away from sailing a shakedown (wtf- I’ve only been home 6 weeks) so I was cleaning the garage up for a professional foundation company to come and fix a void I have under my garage. I got tinkering on the truck too. I drained my gas tank. Souls have done this months ago. Sure smells like t...

I got a call that kicked me in the gut. My detainlung officer misspelled Shore Duty as A F L O A T.

Sister ship to the one I am on, but supposedly in great ...
