  1. Loose lips sink ships.
  2. I wouldnt have wanted to be on any other kind of vessel but a carrier. Even in the worst weather we only got a slight rocking. I remember watching out the hangar bay doors for UNREP (Underway Replenishment) and those poor bastards would be pitching and rocking like crazy while we barely moved. The down side is you do have longer lines for stuff like chow, medical, haircut, ship store, etc...
  3. Went to a friends bachelor party on Saturday and Im still not right today even after pretty much sleeping all day yesterday. Getting old sucks.
  4. I dunno, I think Anne Coulter is kinda hot.
  5. When was that answered?
  6. Congrats! Wait, you're taking a month off too?
  7. You catch an elbow to the chops or something?

    Gas Prices?

    In Chicago the gas prices are: 87 Octane: $3.75/G 90 Octane: $3.85/G 93 Octane: $3.95/G It variest slightly from suburb to suburb but it costs me around $53-55 per week.
  9. Seems like it's filmed mainly in India, at least a lot of the footage from the trailer was from Rajasthan and the northern states. Well look what the cat dragged in. You back from your trip or just posting from there?
  10. Really? I heard he totally blew his top. Ok, ok, Ill stop now.
  11. Yeah, its a real shame he had to go and lose his head like that.
  12. Why does it need a 2.4 Intel but only a 2.0 AMD?
  13. Gah, who's Richard again?
  14. Hmm, interesting. I havent noticed anything that would indicate that. Can you elaborate on what he said and how he said it that leads you to that theory?
  15. My wife. Joking aside, Id like to help but my cooking skills come to a merciful end right after spaghetti and scrambled eggs. Oh, and grilled cheese.
  16. ^I dont think so. If you remember back a few episode they showed polar bear remains (still wearing the Dharma collar) being found in the desert. I think there is some kind of "portal" or teleportation experiment going on.
  17. Ug, I poured hydrogen peroxide in my earhole once to clean it out and the mad bubbling right on my eardrum almost drove me insane.
  18. *Casts Raise Dead* So I dug last nights episode. I was pretty surprised they killed off but it was interesting to see the developing back story between him and Whitmoore. The smoke monster attack rocked! It looked like a runaway freight train barreling through the camp to the soldiers.
  19. Happy Birthday!!!!
  20. 38 :using a walker emoticon:
  21. Boot camp for the Navy is a joke. They are far more interesting in traing your mind over your body. I dont know the requirements now, but back in 1989 the final physical test was; 30 pushups, 60 situps (had 1 minute to do each) and run 1.5 miles in under 12 minutes. I mean, come on. It doesnt get easier then that!
  22. Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery @Calax: Thats a fantastic score. Ive know over the year several people that went through the nuke program and they are all really smart cookies. Think long and hard about that bonus, not all positions offer one and I think with that training you would be set for life when you got out. I almost wish I stayed in for the full tilt, I would have been retiring this year.
  23. Congrats!
  24. And it usually also means the ship is carrying "special weapons". Sometimes you will see the Marines running through the halls fully geared out simulating an attack on the "special weapons". Get out of the way immediately or they will run you over. Lol. I preferred the Mojo. Amen brother! Our liberty was almost always in civvies but yes, drinking and dress whites dont mix. I cant remember how many I had to replace. The dress blues were no picnic either with all 20-something buttons on the pants.
