Thought someone might find humor in these:

I wish they were availible when and I had to make a shadow box for a retiring command master chief. 28 years an MM and never went on water. The one time assigned a sea-going billet he went medical. He had an NCM, NAM and several GC for a career spent at Great Lakes! _________________ "KILL ALL THE LAWYERS!"

Thanks! Got a real laugh out of that one. I knew a Sergeant Major in the Army that only served on two stateside posts for his entire 30 year career. The first was Ft. Dix for basic training. _________________ Peace is acheived through victory |

Jeeze! 28 years at Great Lakes as a MM? That takes the term
"homesteading" into the realm of fantasy. 'Course when I took
a 2 1/2 year westpac on the Swenson, we got into all the good places
when a buck still beat out any other money on the planet. Getting
stuck in North Chicago for the duration would be my version of
Hell.
