Heh! Thank you, Chan, that’s a hoot.
Are you currently in the Coast Guard? If so, what do you do, and where do you do it?
Oh, and among the Coast Guard’s mission areas I forgot to mention the Ice Patrol. Since I’m a small-time Titanic buff, I regret the oversight.
must… resist…urge to… respond…
Sorry Manhattan, but I must.
Horse: I’ll layoff the low comments towards you, but let me explain something to you. Don’t think that for one minute, someone mocking the Guard bothers me. I’ve been hearing it for 10 years, and most of it’s pretty funny. You however, flamed me and my post, calling me clueless. You mock the Guard, fine, have fun with it. You flame me, expect a reply in kind. It’s just that simple. Geenius and Five took stabs at the Guard, but got no such “postal” response from me. See the difference? If you want to take some type of debate to the pit, fine, you just let me know. That’s all I’ll say for now. No flames, no low blows.
Five: Glad you liked that. You’ll be happy to know that I first saw that pic on a Navy MB, under the thread title “Coast Guard gets new Battleship” hehe. Yeah, I’m currently in. 10 down, 20 to go. Right now I’m a BM1, and the XPO of small icebreaker in Maine, that also does shorebased Aids maint/rebuilds in the spring-fall.
Wierddave: LOL, pretty good one. Here’s one for your bro-in-law:
Q: Why do they put Marines on Navy ships?
A: 'Cause sheep get seasick.
(I suspect this thread will be moving very soon…)

And they both directly disobeyed the direction of a moderator. Rather than see this thread get banned to the Pit, I would rather some other things got banned…
Peace.
Prediction: Look for two ‘newbies’ to appear in ATMB complaining of the unfairness of the administration around here.
Ahh, go tell it to the Coast Guard.
