Hi Dave, You just reminded me of when we used to take on a fresh load of boot Marines who had never been to sea before. Come chow time, they would set their tray down and silverware and cup...and of course the sea being a little rough and something would start sliding off the table. By the time they grabbed it something else was going off the other side...next, someones tray went on the deck...and then one of 'em threw up! Oh what a mess and laughter to boot. I guess after we had a laugh or two, we showed them how to put their silverware in their shirt pocket, wet a napkin to put under the tray to keep it from sliding and set the cup on the tray. Why they were qualified for the FMF then...(Fleet Marine Force.) I used to have to go through their berthing spaces to take tank soundings and it smelled like arm pits and throw up. I wouldn't make fun of them, I'm just telling it like it was. We couldn't get along without them 'ol boys...they had it rough and we respected them for what they had to go through. God bless everyone of them. ohfred
