Artillery lends dignity to what would otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

El Toro Jose, come join me at my Favorite Veterans Day place in Phoenix: Hooters, Nov. 11, 2015. Hooters invites all veterans and current servicemen and women to enjoy a free meal from a select menu. Requires a drink purchase. I can definitely handle a drink purchase, or six! JSNS, El Borracho ese!

Happy Veterans Day to all, and thanks to those who have served, are serving and will serve in the future! I would also like to thank all the companies that are giving discounts and other offers to veterans on Veterans Day. Although I will not be able to patronize all the businesses on that day alone, I for one, will go out of my way to do business with as many as I can in the future to also thank those that support our troops, past, present and future.

Here is a link to some of the offers to Vets via military.com: https://www.military.com/veterans-day/veterans-day-military-discounts.html

 
happy veterans day to all who served and are out there now. I'm joining a bunch of local vets for a little parade tomorrow and we will be starting the parade with a volley of cannon fire. should be good.

^^^^^ I still have a 36-inch flathead screwdriver that I borrowed from the boat; shaft as big around as a hot dog. We wielded it like a baseball bat during security drills. Stand to the side of the watertight door. If somebody's head comes through the hatch, see if you can smack it back to where it came from.

MMs have two-digit IQs. Why else would they agree to work in a filthy, steamy engine room?

MM's are the best of all worlds: extreme manly- and burly-ness, unparalleled craftiness. Hell, McGyver used to call us for ideas. ETs? Those are the guys you'd cut their heads off and plop a flint rock down on their shoulders and the common sense index would go up 20 points. Intelligent? Sure, no doubt. But as whimsical as Tinkerbell and as sensible as HR Puffinstuff.

Have a good un, squid!

PS- for us in the USN submarine service "squid" is a term meaning something totally different. Use your imagination. Unless like the bonehead SSN guy in prior posts yours is MIA.

 
Thanks to all vets, past, present, and future.
