Ok, quick Sea Story. I lived with two Marines and another Squid in flight school. We lived on Queen Street in Milton, Florida (I know, talk about a meme generator) south of Whiting Field.
Jeff the Squid was ROTC from UCLA and a college water polo player. Florida women may have been intrigued.
Bill N. was from Boston and went to BU. Tracy, the other Marine, went to Notre Dame and was/is, perhaps the ugliest man I have every met...a human mud fence. No better guy, we called him the "Human Highlight Film" since all he did was sleep, eat, fly and watch movies.
However, Tracy told us his girlfriend was coming to stay with us for a few days during Spring Break, she was a senior at ND. This should be fun.
We were all gobsmacked when out of Tracy's car steps just a beautiful young woman in the best sense of the term.
Anyway. Every night, Bill would walk out on our small front porch in his boxers around sunset, turn on the light, stand at ease, then attention, salute the street and yell: "Queen Street, at ease!"
Pivot then walk inside.
We had a lot of interaction with the neighbors, BBQ's, etc. and they loved it.
Marines.
