Robert, I don't care how you got this, but thanks for posting it. Even though I was in the Navy, I wasn't a Squid. I was a Seabee and DAMN proud of it. The Marines sometimes call the Seabees Marines with light duty chits. Also the Army has their construction units called Red Horse AKA Pink Ponies. Keith

I was told C B stood for Crazy Bas*erds. Especially, the ones that were in the DEEP SOUTH. Where else could you sit outside in 40* weather with shorts, and a t-shirt getting a tan and be warm. Then the FNG's walk by in their parkas pointing at you complaining how unbearably cold it is. Oh, the old days and fond memories. Keith

I was stationed at Point Loma, Ca. for 2 years on a floating drydock. Yea, Joe I know. What the H*** is an Equipment Operator doing on a floating drydock. I operated the cranes. The swab jockeys called the submariners bubbleheads. The funniest joke I ever heard them tell was a sub is the only ship the Navy has that deploys with 130 man crew and returns with 65 couples. Keith
