not officially. :roll:

You got me welling up. I owe the US Navy a lot!! And if it werent for good CPOs and Petty Officers who knows where I would be. I had a judge persuade me to enlist at 17 years old. Your post is GREAT and they dont make em like that anymore. THANKS!!

Thanks Again for this post.

and don't forget......."when I'z spit, I'z spit tar".....

Earlier, I said:

Although no one took offense to this, I just want to make myself clear. I have the HIGHEST respect for our Military, Air and Naval forces! Although, it seems that the hardships we have all endured during our "enlistments" have made the rigors of Truck Driving easier for us than for some....

I did not mean to imply that the Navy was only a "training school" for ANYTHING!!

If anyone is sitting out there in silence, taking offense to what I said, I apologize!

Don't really think that was necessary.... but I couldn't let it slip by.

I have the utmost respect and dedication to ALL who wear or have worn ANY uniform of the United States of America! God bless you all, and let's not forget those who are serving away from home this Christmas!

Hobo,
I also hope no-one took offense to what you said. I know I didn't, it sounded like a good clean fun jab. :wink: Shoot we should all be use to those by now. It does seem there are a few of us Navy guys in here. But I guess driving is the next best thing to being underway we can get now.:lol:

And thank you for saying thanks. I am happy to say I served. Like my Dad once said..."They pay you to do this? You should be ashamed of yourself for taking the money" :lol:

MERRY CHRISTMAS. I hope everyone (although this will not be the case) is able to enjoy this day with family and friends.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
