Admiral Yamamoto infamously said "You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a man with a rifle behind every blade of grass."
And so it should be, a nation of riflemen....

About 30 Hours Out....
We're at 29*40'N, 127*W @ 19knots.
ETA at Home Port is approx 1800 on Saturday.
Can barely wait to get off the ship, and back home......
Thanks! One of my work mates, a 23-year Navy CPO, is singing something like "I wanna get offa this boat....", or words to that effect. We're supposed to be hitting some 6~8 meter waves and swells tonight, so we're running around making sure all our gear is secured and stowed properly. Usually not nearly this rough, but the weather guy says we're traversing a low-pressure zone.
Ah yes... Home! :-) Enjoy the reunion! :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd the onset of channel fever ... I remember it well.
