I had the priveledge to hear some of you on the Sean Hanity radio show this afternoon. I salute you. You are hero's in more ways than one. Not only have you served your country by fighting in Viet Nam, but you are now serving again by standing up for whats right. The TRUTH. I hope I and many others can help in getting the word out that Sen. John Kerry isn't what he says he is. He also isn't fit to lead anyone, let alone be our CaC.

Bravo Zulu Shippies. Now lets get out and VOTE!

Gentlen,

I must commend you on the restraint that was shown last night on the Hannity & Colmes show last night. The democratic representative obviously was unwilling to understand the relationship that you had as Kerry's peers and did not want to listen to the fact that you gentlemen worked as a tactical unit with Kerry's boat during these operations.

I guess we should not be surprised that the Dems want us to accept JFnK's version of events as the truth - like Michael Moore's.

The Dems created "Hollywood dramatizations" that we are expected to blindly accept as factual....here is hoping that the citizens of this great country can see through this smokescreen.

The one good thing is the airtime for the commercial nationwide - albeit as they are trying to distroy the credibility of the messengers.

Keep the Faith! Honor will prevail!

You're not the first to ask that question! I think it's a swabbie's way of saying good job. Something like 10-4 on the c-b. Confused

Do they have c-b (citzens band) radio in Great Britian or did I just muddy the water? Embarassed

The term originates from the Allied Signals Book (ATP 1), which in the aggregate is for official use only. Signals are sent as letters and/or numbers, which have meanings by themselves sometimes or in certain combinations. A single table in ATP 1 is called "governing groups," that is, the entire signal that follows the governing group is to be performed according to the "governor." The letter "B" indicates this table, and the second letter (A through Z) gives more specific information. For example, "BA" might mean "You have permission to . . . (do whatever the rest of the flashing light, flag hoist or radio transmission says) "BZ" happens to be the last item in the governing groups table. It means "well done".
