Geezer Alert!
Now The TRUTH Can Be Told! A Sunday Silly
Was digging through some old records and found my Commission. The Cherry River Navy is a super secret organization for those of us with super secret squirrel missions that can’t be discussed among ordinary folk. I can’t discuss my time as a SEAL/Ranger/Force Recon with […]
Our Bizzaro World?
Bizzaro World is a place in the comic book (Sorry – Graphic Novel) universe… supposed fiction. Yet every day some current news item hints that it is becoming more and more real. Could be my advancing age, or my own personal illusion of reality, but I gotta wonder aloud here. I won’t waste your time […]
Blame it on Cabin Fever – A Navy Story
A Brother Nam Vet suggested I post more Navy stuff so, that barely still functioning part of my brain began casting for memories. Then Cabin Fever amplified the effort. Being underway on a cruiser/destroyer class ship is simply an experience that those Airdales and Bubbleheads in The Navy can only rarely equate to. [grin] Off […]
The Eagle Cried
Working on a new post at the prompting of a fellow ‘Nam vet, but that process has stirred memories captured by a tune. Brings me back to Gathering of Eagles because that tune reflects why most of us were there in one form or another. May well be a repeat, if so… sorry Jonn. Where […]
Showering With Friends?
Minds out of the gutter! Can NOT ignore Jonn’s recent post. In my defense I was was writing and missed it. This has been discussed here before, but I aim to get a bit specific. Sure, this has been cussed and discussed in grand terms and likely with the best of intentions – usually also […]
I Got a Phone Call Today
It was a pleasant surprise. A representative of a local American Legion Post here in Central West Virginia called. Note please, that I’m an annual member of the Legion, and a life member of the VFW and DAV. BUT I don’t go to meetings. First off… the meetings are at night and my night driving […]
Saturday Silly, Kinda/Sorta Just A Sea Story
In 1969 I was TDY on Guam. I was assigned to the dive locker. These sailors were Navy Divers. Not SEALS ,mind you, just work-a-day folks who were responsible for salvage and hull inspections, etc. They had a thing for the UDT (You Did Its) lot across the bay, more on that in a bit. […]
Wherein Zero Comes Clean -You Heard It Here First
Background: “The Wife” here is turning *5 (not allowed to say it) later this month and has decided how she wants to spend her birthday “points”. If you’ve been married 40+ years that term needs no further definition. Addendum: “The Wife” read this and noted that with the “40+ years” mention everyone will know her […]
