That was nearly 20 years ago when I moved to the booming metropolis of North End Dartmouth. After many lessons learned: I hang all my kit up after I use it. Have one set of DEU's in plastic at all times. Always get a haircut the day prior of wearing my DEU's. (If I am wearing my DEU's, I am...

Just a quick dit. I had a wrinkled old style Navy gabardine. So I took the advice of the hot shower trick from my LS. Well, I got home to my apartment, put the gabardine on a plastic hangar (insert foreshadowing) and cranked it. Went to the couch, promptly fell asleep. Woke up 30 minutes later...

At sea is at sea, and I think we have a good balance in that area. The issue is not with cleaning stations specifically, but the management of our 8 hour day alongside. The Navy is (trying) improving the duty watch system and encourage PT. I have seen this trend and I like it and I applaud...

OP HURRICANE 99-GD KNIGHTS!

Just a quick question: I am posted to a ship and always sailing and do not have the time to train on a team. I would like to go as a independent marcher during my annual leave. My parents met on this March in 1969 as my Dad was posted in Soest (Fort Chambly) and my Mom is from Eindhoven...

anybody have to go for a Number 2 during PT and have to run up ahead and come out of the woods with one sock? this happened to a friend of mine on Brindle road in Petawawa during his ISCC............ ::)

mine was when the Battalion was formed up for PT outside and me in the taxi coming in from a night of debauchery...late...and the CSM scowling at me. Talk about embarrassing. only 20 extras at HQ. I may be laughing when I am writing this now but I wasn't then.

another slam against the best Military in the world!
