DB, I was in Rota one time, upstairs in the Skinny Bar when Marines from the gator Navy came walking up the street and yelled “Navy sucks” at my friend and me. I replied, “Yeah you’re right there. How are you getting home?”
I was a sea-going bellhop too.
I had joined the Marines to see the world which is approximately two-thirds water.
I saw approximately two-thirds of the world.
Dmajor, Tip the Whipper would be a great name for a band! Oh, The plug on the guitar cord I was using, was shorting out so I went to get a new one. I walked into a music store and told the guy I needed a guitar cord. He said, “G7ths are on sale…”

Wow, i’d hate see retires look once they read the fine print on how their cruise would be conducted.

Plus it’s a lot easier for the pirates to come aboard with dinghies already in the water
Allison Nunn Premium Member about 15 years ago
This would be a cruise with a “get fit” theme….. bet they’d get a lot of interest, at least initially!

Sind is a province of Southeastern Pakistan. Why would you want that over the deck of the Nimitz?

I’m sure that’s not what they had in mind when they were picturing what they were going to be doing in their retirement.

nibor6, yours goes in the opposite direction anyway.

Rob Riggle once said that yes, the Marines were a department of the Navy - the MEN’S department!
Ushindi about 15 years ago
Ha! I’ll bet he doesn’t get very many miles per retiree - I know he’d be hard-pressed to get much distance out of me and MY friends.

Yeah, kind of gives a new meaning to “Stroke! Stroke! Stroke!”
And how much are you supposed to tip the whipper?

Love the name of the boat. Compassion. Unbelievable. Row row row. Thanks Wiley, you’ve done it again. Very, very funny.

The Captain is a “Compassionate Conservative”? Yeah, Right. Once again, the serfs are in steerage; or riding the shaft!
MisngNOLA about 15 years ago
Dracip, you should have asked him if you could get the G7th augmented 5th for the same price.

Isn’t that Al Gore’s new pleasure boat?
