Incredible, your dad was 28 days older than my dad, who was born on 30 July 1918 (in Astoria, OR). He died just 2 years ago, he made it to almost 98. He spent his WWII time in the Navy. Was your dad a pilot or perhaps a crew chief ?? I see the sargeant stripes on his sleeve, but I'm unsure if he's o...

20 years ago I was staying in quarters at the Navy Sub Base in Pearl Harbor. Sunday morning I decided to attend the chapel service in the tiny on-base chapel. What really caught me off-guard: during the service a fellow stood up and mentioned a sub that was lost on patrol during WWII, and he then re...

Already well said above, and I wholeheartedly agree: an ROTC program. That is my background: 4 years of Navy ROTC at a world-class university, then 4 years of payback as a Navy Officer in the fleet. Then out of the Navy and back into college for a second degree, this time mechanical engr'ing with GI...

Ignoring the technical, the clog is gonna happen wherever it feels like happening. Clogs know nothing about pipe diameters and cubic feet and the time of day. So get a 500 foot snake and hope you get lucky. I say that only somewhat in jest because only 3 weeks ago I had a major plumbing clog in the ...

The top one with the yellow handle: I really like the looks & lines of that one just fine, and wouldn't make any changes.

The bottom one with stag handle: if you're of a mind to re-handle, that would be my choice.

earl, The concept of the CO being a "head case" is all too valid, and still is. One of my active duty shipmates (and a good friend to this day), his older brother was what is called a Screamer. There was no pleasing the guy and he screamed at everything, just to scream. When his JO did som...

Carlsen Highway, You are of course absolutely correct, container ship crews don't set the auto-pilot and go to bed. (I just like the dramatic effect of the statement).

In 1972 I bought a brand-new-off-the-drawing-board Winchester 9422 from the gun shop at the Navy Exchange at the Naval Air Station North Island. It was a beauty, shot straight and true. Sold it to a co-worker in 1998, and he ended up giving it to his son, so I could never get it back.
