Leatherneck Roll Call.... All Branches Welcome!
Congrats to you, Shellbellc! That's quite an accomplishment for ANYONE. Like AJBert said, we make fun of each other but only with respect. Sometimes it's well hidden, but it's definitely there. I'm a WWII history buff and it never ceases to amaze me what the Marines and Army went through for...- tjnamtiw

Leatherneck Roll Call.... All Branches Welcome!
My nephew was on the Tennessee, also homeported in Kings Bay. I had the pleasure to go down and meet him there where we went on board and I got a grand tour. Things sure had changed since I was in some 40 years before! The technology we used back then to send messages was so secret that even...- tjnamtiw

Mine was converted to Poseidon in Bremerton and went on into the mid '70's before being scrapped. My XO went on to be the skipper of the Halibut when it did all the 'spooky' stuff off the coast of Russia.- tjnamtiw

Leatherneck Roll Call.... All Branches Welcome!
That was a helluva mess on the Carrier. I read that you guys helped out with that. My brother also was on the Oriskany. He was career, as you can guess. Gotta laugh on the DASH fiasco. :) We had a JG on board who managed to tear out one of the wharfs in the harbor in Guam practicing docking...- tjnamtiw

Your ship was just as old as the Small, DDR838. I read a history of the Rupertus. She was really involved in everything from shelling to rescues to recovering space capsules! Pretty neat!- tjnamtiw

Did you get stuck in the big typhoon in about 68? My brother's destroyer rode it out. We were 300 feet down taking 30 degree rolls under him. :) They got back to Pearl and while tied up at the destroyer wharf, the started flooding in the engine room and had to get pushed into a dry dock...- tjnamtiw

The Sub guys are a special breed, to be sure. Like a big family with very little regulation. No B.S. We all had a job to do and did it any way we could. Great on your Dad on diesels. E6 was GOOD duty on a sub. I had the priveledge to ride a WWII boat, the Pomfret, out of San Diego for a few...- tjnamtiw

That is what is so lacking in many of the people working now. They don't realize how valuable that training is for the business world. Get the job done. Take orders. Get dirty if needed. Learn how to work as a team. So valuable but so missing in our society. Thank you for your service!- tjnamtiw

First attempt at pulledpork
Yea, by the end of the smoke, the window was completely covered with dripping smoked residue. Before that you could watch the smoke curl around and get some idea of the heat path that was taken as it came from the burner and out the vent on the left. Pretty interesting. Man was that good...- tjnamtiw

We Navy guys will always remember what Bob Hope said > 'Marines are there on ships so that the Navy guys have someone to dance with.' Only kidding. Maybe...............- tjnamtiw

First attempt at pulledpork
Well, I just got done pulling my first pork butt!!! OMG!!!! There is no going back from this point. I did an 8 pound butt using a rosemary and brown sugar dry rub that I got off of the internet. Cooked it in my MES 40" with the glass door at 250 degrees. It took 7 hours to get to 195 degrees...- tjnamtiw
