Thanks! Amazon is the best thing ever out there. The only problem is packing it all off!Monkey wrote:Cole,
Indeed I'm with the HST Strike Group. I have to admit, Gibraltar always looks better when viewed from the starboard side.While YouTube is challenging, the fact that I even have internet, given the way it used to be when I started (for you old salts, think MarsGrams) keeps me content.
There's a running joke on the ship that I'm going to get my Amazon Prime stuff faster than I'm going to get the parts I need that Supply hasn't randomly cancelled yet...
As for the monkeys...if only I could use them for target practice and nobody pitch a fit...

Now there's a term I haven't heard in a while.......Marsgram!

Please explain what a Marsgram is. I love stories of the good old days before there were women on ships and Tailhook was still in Vegas ha ha.

I was never in the service, but I am a HAM. I was in ARES forever. I was a volunteer Assistant Emergency Coordinator in PWC working out of the EOC. We used to run a bunch of formal traffic with MARS for training exercises. Most of the time I was the Net Control Operator on the civilian side.
Around the world on a watt... those were the days. LOL
