Happy Birthday Navy!
Every day I beat my previous record of consecutive days I've stayed alive.

Happy Birthday, Navy, and thanks for so many years of helping protect us!

Eh ... they're good for a ride ... if you want it to last forever at 25 knots.
Happy birthday, squids.

Happy Birthday US Navy! .... and thanks to all you mariners out there.
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

You know, the last time I was in Germany and saw a man standing above everybody else, we ended up disagreeing.

I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

USS Reasoner (FF-1063) a Knox class frigate laid down in 1969, Decommissioned in 1993 and sold to Turkey. Sunk in a Live Fire exercise by Turkey sometime after 2005 in the Med.

Just so you know, Marines are part of the Department of the Navy. We might pick at each other, try to outdrink each other and get in fights, but it's like picking on my brother. We'll close ranks so fast you won't even see it happening.
For the record, squids know their stuff. They put their asses on the line as much as anyone else. All anyone thinks about is a battleship gunfight. They provide landing and air support. You ain't seen no one happier when two FA-18 jocks come rolling in.
You want to go alternate scenario, think about jarheads driving the damned boat. We'd still be in Tahiti or some shit. That's IF we could even find it.
They (begrudgingly of course) earned my respect.

My dad used to say... With out the Marines the Navy would not have anywhere to go, and without the Navy the Marines were just a bunch of guys in the water.....

I can actually swim better than most squids. But if you're asking me for directions you better have a map with grid squares on it. I'd end up at the South Pole.

Allowing for Magnetic Deviation and Variation I could reliably navigate you almost anywhere on the ocean with a chart, a stop watch and basic Navigation equipment...I can actually swim better than most squids.

you cud be right. our test for swimming in boot was jump in a pool, swim a lap and pull yourself out. you'd be surprised how many boots had to be pulled out with a hookI can actually swim better than most squids.
