There isn't a military forum...

Crossing the equator sure has changed. Not much "real" Wog cleansing taking place. I am not so sure that they should be considered shellbacks now.

Snail mail and the occassional emergency was all we had. Of course you could do the HF thing but that was a pain.

I was on a DDG. All we had was the snail mail and MARS calls.

they have enough problems just making it through a cruise to not have to worry about what their wife and family think MIGHT have gone on when they get back.

what happens on the ship should stay on the ship.

you want a good reality show? how about showing what the wives are doing while their husbands are on that cruise.

We already have first hand knowledge of that

That is the childish and immature mentality that azzholes (men and women) use to get away with being a bad spouse and cheating on their partner.

Hell, a carrier is roomy! Been on a few.

The Navy will take smart folks pretty much no matter what their size. We had an engineer on a sub the size of your son. Poor guy, was stooped over most the time unless he went aft.
