Default Has it been that long?

I just noticed that I am a Senior Rider now. When does my AARP application arrive. I think I would rather be known as an Experienced Rider.

Congratulations to me!!!

Thanks, Bos'n. My Big Brother retired as SCPO. Blackshoe. Hullfitter (I think). Last five or sixyears all on Subtenders anchored at ports and then retired at Kings Bay. He was a sand crab at Kings Bay when he passed away a couple of years ago. I sure miss him.

I was a first class boatswainsmate who was passed and selected for Chief. I was medically discharged before I got to put the khakis on.

I spent seven and half years, my entire relatively short career in the Amphibious Assault Navy ALL of it aboard ship. When I was a Third and Second Class (E4 - E5) I drove the Mike 6 and Mike 8 boats that hauled the Marines into the beach. I guess what they say MARINE means is true, My A$$ Rides In Navy Equipment

Not true for me. I never once rodein Navy equipment. Marine air wing. When I traveled we shoved our shop in a Marine C-130 and flew to our destination.
