38 years ago today we were still three months from the Oct73 mideast oil crisis, still blithely putting gasoline at 24.9 cents a gallon in our cars, could NOT put five bucks in even empty, passed by station that were 33.9 cents as "too expensive", and I was thinking we were due for shipyard overhaul and I wouldn't have to go out on patrol again.

Nobody doesn't like Bruce Lee :thumbsup:
No, wait, that's Sara.

I remember seeing "Enter the Dragon" at the Base Theater when I was a young Airman stationed in Montana. Wow was he fast!

That news came like lightning... I was in Thailand flyin' photo missions, seemed like the whole country went into mourning.

About that time I was on patrol.

SSN......no fresh air, no sunshine, but at least the VC wasn't takin' pot-shots at me.
You DO know I'm the life of the party....right?
Turn off the lights, I glow in the dark.

Ah, those were the days; I remember them well. I just can't talk about them.

 

[Deleted member 8987]

I can't either...other than I did it.
Everybody asks how deep and how fast...still can't say....yet from before my time on the boats, Janes Fighting Ships had all thew data published.
Go figure.


Oh, the pickup:

There were times I went out with ground forces, dropped into places yet unmentionable... Never had the honor of joining you <span style="font-style: italic">squids</span>. Funny that now a LOT of the guys I consider pals are former water fowl. Go figger.

I really both love and hate this innerweb thingie. I think we'd all have a helluva time gatherin' together!

Yup. Roger that.
