OFS,

I didn’t name the ship. So, it could have just as well have been the Ponchatoula as any other. Could be that we walked the streets of Olongapo at the same time.

Here’s to all of us.

Is that a “bar-be-que” stand in the background? Yum…monkey meat on a stick.

The Navy sure was going to win, but Ordnance Shop saved the day. I look back fondly at missile pylon and bomb rack testing with Sgt. Randle (names changed to protect the guilty). I especially enjoy my memories of watching the ordnance apes load bombs by hand. Two Marines and a steel pipe, and a 0ne, Two, Three, LIFT!
Just the kind of energy you want in the shoulder and arm that’s on your side.

What’s coming next could be considered a draw and a strategic retreat for the Marines. If you consider the SP’s the Navy, I’d have to say they will be the clear winners, occupying and holding the territory and taking prisoners.

Out of nowhere, the sailor took two fast punches to the side of his jaw and went down to the pavement on his side.

Hey! I thought the Navy always won around here! What gives?

Ice cold San Miguel. That sounds like such a good idea! The sun IS over the yardarm…

And thanks for the return of the preview, Lex. ‘ppreciate it!
