maybe back in the day befoe Ely Whitney there would be a good place for black shoes!!!






no offense just making talk...

Ahhhhh... the brown shoe Navy! The reason your shoes are brown is because of all the -=-=-=-= talking aviation types do.... and your shoes got covered in it!

And just remember... planes tend to crash and burn when hit with a missile...

If it flies, it dies!

I'm not a "Mercahnt Mariner" but I did deploy on the USNS San Jose and USNS Concord.

Yeah,

I've slung those missiles below the phrog and have seen them sit in the tubes silently for years without ever being used.

ya i'l use usns.spent plenty of time x-fering jp-5 on the hip. there where also a few ships part of uncle sam's canoe club that i sailed on that did not have any kind of a rating but just a yard hull # down on the e/r con bulkhead.

[jigawatt77]

Sorry, I thought someone had asked about including Merchant Marines in the Navy Club, I just didn't know much about it, just that some civilians did sail with USNS's. My ship sailed a lot with the Seattle out of Norfolk between 98 and 2003 (when I was aboard)

Saturn, Concord, and the Sirius. Very nice and great chow.

I don't know if I qualify I don't have a jeep yet (still saving up I hate debt) I am a AK2 stationed at NAS Oceana ASD I have orders to the carl vinson going to be a crapy yard period but I want to finish my bachelors degree. I want to make warrant officer one day. I was stationed on the USS Nassau before being stationed at ASD I think on my next sea duty I am going to go to another gator.

[Ovenman]

I think you should qualify! But can you have a hull number with no hull? How is the Master Jet Base? I was there in the late eighties attached to VF-33 (decommissioned now).

[hazegry]

Some of you PM'ed me and said go ahead so I will take #30. I am probably going to get a yj next year cant afford a tj besides I am keeping the saturn to help with gas costs and its already paid for so why get rid of a good daily driver. I just hope I can find one at a good price I dont mind if the motor is blown or if the body is rough as long as the frame is in good shape and I can make it street legal ( I am putting ILL tags on it so I don't have to get it inspected)I am fine I like this jeep
its the one on the black rim thread in picture requests. it has all the body mods I want and I wouldn't mind painting it flat black.

So, does anyone here have any stories about grandparents or parents from the old Navy? I had a grandfather on the Midway and one on a small tender that he never told me much about. My mothers uncle was killed on the USS Goldsborough during a training excercise during Viet Nam. My grandpa on the Midway was a deck seaman and loved it. My other GPA was a Mess Cook in the 50's. I was on the Monterey for 5 years (98-03) and ended up going to 5 Continents, 20-something countries and what seemed like a lifetime of memories in a short period of time. I wouldn't trade it for the world. I'll be getting out in 6 months, but not because I hate it, just time to turn the page. Goin back to Texas 2006! Anyone have any good sea-stories?

[catdieselpowa]

I'm a mid also, but I'm a *****ass 4/C, so I never get to rip on my 94 YJ sahara with 2" crappy RC lift and 31" swamper TSLs, with a little fender hacking to top it off. I am originally from MA. I am a tall bastard and might have to go restricted line, if I do, I am thinking Construction Battalion. So do I get Hull #38?
