Outbound

Traveling day, headed to Sandy Eggo. 

I will try to post while I'm out there. Whether it's fiction or musings, I'll try.

Long days perhaps, but it's all good.

Doing my duty, the best way I know how.

I took my oath seriously.

Might not wear a uniform anymore, but I do this for the folks who still do.

Be seeing you.

  2. Pretty good April Fools Joke you pulled there, Sarge. Your "Meanderings" post lead me to believe you were already in San Diego. But...Safe Travels and do good things.

    And it was a point of pride that we did that even knowing that when the Kennedy sailed down the Delaware river, we would all be laid off.

  7. Is the pilot name "Corrigan" on that one?

    It's not a Navy thing, but USAF TAC, I think, but "We fly and fight, or support those who do" is pretty good summary of the teamwork involved. That includes both uniformed personnel and most civilians on the team, be they DOD employees or contractors.

    And in small measure I support our (alliance) military too, many officers from NATO North-East Corps HQ do shopping in my supermarket.

Two raced up to her bows as soon the gangway was in place, anxiously examining the twisted steel. Then they clapped each other on the back, shouting for joy. Their welds had held...
