Quote from that trip during a fire fighting drill;
First Mate: "If an Exorset missile hits this container, it will be on fire."

My buddy: "Dipshit, if an Exorset missile hits that container we'll be on the bottom of the fucking Persian Gulf!" (Container was full of ammo.)

I was at the Car Givaway Saturday at the Nats and the band was doing their thing before the NSRA guys started their stuff....Anyway a guy in the band stopped and took a second to honor all the Vietnam Vets. It was a very cool moment for me and all the Vets there. Sorta nice that after 40 years someone is thanking us for our service.!!!
