Great pictures. One of my best friends spent his whole career in the Navy and just retired a few years ago. That first picture says it all, doesn't it?!
Diana hit the nail on the head. Yep, I noticed on all my alerts today, this was above my 'Cuss like a Sailor!' I think of you often when I see a reference to the USN. And that one picture made me think how the NOrth Atlantic could even pitch a carrier around we would look when we could and wonder how you guys did on a real ship! LOL
Some of my best memories are in the USN. Great pictures, And yep I know where the term Swabbie comes from. LOL
The best to you and Anna Mae as you surface from a real storm, may you guys have some calm seas and a following wind.
We are thinking of you....Sherry & jack
I did see one OLD swabbie Thanks, I do remember him..... ;-)
