I just thought there should be a place anyone who served at any time at any command could go and throw out a thought, ask a question or gripe!

So, I am going to try an experiment and see if we can do some house cleaning in this command! Excuse me!

Every Monday while working on the USS Slater, we have lunch in the enlisted mess. I didn't realize we would be eating (at times) a meal that would have been provided during the 40's! :-) OK, so mac & cheese maybe a staple even today! It does have an ambiance that only a" tin can" can provide!

I'm not so sure about the newer recruits! I think they not only would not know how to change a "fuse", they probably don't know what a fuse is!

He had to be on the surface for them to find him, so we know he didn't drown, I don't believe the water temp in the area is a threat of hypothermia and if sharks got him there wouldn't be anything left to find. I wonder if one of his own ships ran over him!
