tea,
You know why they call the camel the ship of the desert? It's because they're usually full of Arab seaman.

Yeah, by the time I went in, its was what they called the new navy, most the drugs was gone and they start doing pee test, yuk.
A buddy of mine that was in nam on a little gun boat was telling me the navy during his time had to replace all the rope on the ships for fear that it would be smoked up by the sailors, And I guess some was smoking too, being made of hemp. I thought that was funny, but sounded about right.

Thanks for your service. Where was your homebase in Iraq? I was AL Taji...Camp Cook.
Sorry to hear about your fight with the VA, I sympathize with your frustration with the damn govt, it can be a real pain in the ass but ours here in Anchorage is pretty outstanding. At the conclusion of my first meeting with my doctor she thanked me for my service - I was floored. They truly go the extra mile to help & I appreciate that.Hydrotec, here is hoping everything goes right with the VA. I had a bastard of a time with our DVA... The last time the missus grabbed the phone and went intercontinental with the dumb asses...
Heres to ya, On target, On time....
Kudo's, they are helping!

kevin,
More than once I got down in the bowls of the engine room and burnt one with a memer of the "black gang". Right up close to one of those heavy duty exhaust vents. The next best place on the ship was down in the weld shop under the vent fan in the weld test booth back in the corner.

I was at camp Fallujah. We ran convoys from there to just about everywhere else in country. TQ and bagdad were our most visited.
Hey vets.
Smith & Wesson is offering Active duty/Retired military 40% off MSRP for any firearm they manufacture. Check the link & talk to Helen Piquette, she's the factory Govt sales rep. I was skeptical at first but in the end did my bit to stimulate the economy.
Your turn.

As we move into another year and decade, may God bring all of our fighting men & women homesafe to their families.
Perhaps it is a great time to smoke a bolw and contemplate the following quote...
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

Peace to all

my watch while underway was 12 feet from the exhaust room, if you cracked the hatch it would suck the ashes off your smoke and send them right out the stacks. back then they called the guys working the engine and boiler rooms "snipes" what a blast. i wouldn't trade the memories for nothing but i wouldn't want to do it again. i miss the brother hood. talking about someone having your back..

On a nuke carrier youre racks are 3 high.I always picked a top one so i could stash shit in the overhead.My squadron was attatched to the USS Carl Vinson CVN-70 and i would smoke right in my bunk.Picked up bud in thailand ,africa.phillipines ,australia etc..Make a can pipe and put just enough for a blast in the can and blow the smoke into a wet towel.the guy in the rack next to me never smelled it.The A/C Carrier went to be reworked in bremerton,I bet they found brown spotted towels all over the fucking place.My buddy and i would walk out on the sponson weather decks at night and hit rush and burn too.Plenty of places to smoke on a carrier.

Kevin,
I once assigned an annual PM check on a flame arrester in our HT shops vent system to one of the E-2's in the shop. About 20 minutes after he left to do it he came scurrying back to the shop all excited pack'n a good hand full of roaches that people had disposed of by letting the vent suck them up. As we were out to sea at the time and out of weed it turned out to be quite the little wind fall for us.
All though not on Navy ships my current job still gets me out to sea several times a year for 2 to 4 weeks at a time. Of course being older and wiser now I no longer take the chance of taking any weed with me. As far as drugs and alcohol go I kind of look at it as checking into rehab for a few weeks and getting paid well for doing so. But boy howdy when I get back home that first bowl sure tastes good. It's almost like getting high again for the first time.
