No will will not be there this year. Every since they brought in the Georgia clowns, they haven't asked some of us back yet. They say they try to rotate every few years. Take care and be safe.

Captain Hook?

How did you get so many friends from South Carolina?I live here and dont have that many.I think one of us needs a road trip and get together to reminice about the good old days.These young pups we got here now just dont know how to hang like we use too.

Captain Hook?

Well thanks for that touching commentary(It brought tears to my eyes) And another thing I melt one little helmet and still hear about it almost 20 yrs later(my guys got a kick out of that story).As for making rank remember Im in good old boy country,they have to die or retire for a promotion to open and around here they dont want to do either.I think they are planning my demise to get a Captains opening.

Hey! Sorry I missed you and the family you were escorting on Sunday! It was a zoo with the President there and we had so many people come this year. I sure would have liked to have met you! What family were you there with? And by the way, that was a nice thing for your family to say. I appreciate hearing the feedback. I think and pray about the families before I write my prayers. I want to be able to say something to them in the short time that I get....

Thanks for the add! I noticed the bit about the sub base and the two NAS's you spent time at. The Navy is where I started with firefighting. As a damage controlman.
