So…what’s proper here? Happy Anniversary? Congratulations? Whatever it is, you got it from me, Nose!

P.S. They’re pretty!

Happy Birthday!

Could spiffy describe the new E-1 to E-6 service uniform? This is the one to replace the Winter Blue and Summer(Tropical White, Long) Whites. Go to the Navy personnel command website and have a look. Spiffy is one term I would never use with this new set of duds.

I demand to know what manner of uniform is prescribed for protection against SWO’s. I’m told they eat their young.

Don’t forget that it always seems as if the SWO’s are always sweating that little bit of lint,dirt,fuzz that detracts from thier “spiffiness”. Let alone, at least to me, they always seem to look down at those who came to sit down and were covered in grease/grime. The look on the face always seem to say “Don’t you know you need to be showered and shaved to eat a hot meal.”

Lex, I was a JO in the Chippies while you were next door in the Dragons. Turk was my next door neighbor in Jax and best he and Barb are best friends to my parents. Along with Intake, I was one of the organizers for the Turk Reunion in Wash DC. Can you contact me at dinomartin@aol.com. I was writing an obituary for Tailhook Magazine and the Virginian Pilot and would like to discuss your BBSOB article. Which is fabulous by the way. - Dino Out

I did four tours at Whidbey Island. 145 and 128 from 79 to 85 and 128 and VAQ140 from 1989 to 1992(retired). My kids, who are all grown now with families of their own, still call the Island home. Even though we live in Wichita, KS, Syracuse, NY and Gainsville, FL.
If luck holds, perhaps the Missus and I will retire home someday.
