Stationed at Navy El Centro, USS Ranger and FACSFAC Navy North Island.

That made me laugh. At 6'4" my forehead looked like an MMA fighter with zero skills after my first underway period on a Frigate.

FACSFAC Navy North Island Controllers were great.

Best.

USMC infantryman here.

More important to me is that two of my sons also served in the Corps infantry. If these fine young men are any measure (and notwithstanding the looting and rioting pukes that are plastered all over the news) our country will be fine

Well said, I agree.

You rock, meh, 82% or so.

We Veterans do enjoy that commonality.

Makes the Army/Navy game soooo good. Especially when Air Force and Coast Guard brothers/sisters chime in.

Love that day just about more than any other throughout the year.
