The Five Most Dangerous Things You'll Ever Hear in the US Navy...
A Seaman saying, "I learned this in Boot Camp..."
A Petty Officer saying, "Trust me, Sir..."
A Lieutenant (JG) saying, "Based on my experience..."
A Lieutenant saying, "I was just thinking..."
A Chief chuckling, "Watch this shit..."
A Seaman saying, "I learned this in Boot Camp..."

There's always some kind of explosion, from my experience, after, "Watch this shit." Actually the first time I heard a Chief say that was when my Company Commander in boot camp was going to stand up on the crossbar of his bicycle. He fell and broke his ankle. I was the first one to him. He said "Son, get me a Corpsman." It was at that moment I decided to be one.At graduation he asked me what I got classified as. I told him. He looked at me shook head and said "Cannon fodder." and walked away.I never saw him again and I'll never forget that man. SMC Jeter, a red stripper and one salty SOB.

Still no Pass. I am beginning to become concerned. A Priority Mail pkg. from that part of the world has never taken more than 3 days.

It should only take business 3 days which will be Monday so I'm not worried yet.

And, keep in mind the new Priority Mail informational posters in post offices now say 3 to 5 business days. Not that the price went down any. 
I've had it take less than two days to New York, and a full four to Houston, and have absolutely no idea WHY. ???

It was a very foggy night at sea.
The skipper of a battleship saw the lights of another vessel approaching directly ahead.
He ordered his Signalman to send the following message on flashing light:
“Turn 10 degrees port.”
A flashing message came back through the fog:
“You turn 10 degrees starboard.”
Perturbed, the skipper sent his Signalman back out to send the following message:
“You turn 10 degrees port. I’m a Captain.”
A flashing message came back through the fog:
“You turn 10 degrees starboard. I’m a Seaman.”
Now the skipper was really furious. A Seaman will not talk to a Captain that way. He ordered his Signalman back out to send the following message:
“You turn 10 degrees port. I’m a battleship.”
A flashing message came back through the fog:
“You turn 10 degrees starboard. I’m a lighthouse.”

Just read some interesting statistics on corpsman.com. The most likely to faint while being given immunizations are in order of frequency, Airmen, Marines, Soldiers and last sailors. Now, this is more of a problem than you might imagine. Folks don't faint like they do in the movies. They hit the ground or furniture around them...Hard. This results in serious facial injuries such and broken noses, cheek bones etc. I suspect this is why we sailors are so pretty.

It's in order of how soft the surrounding area is. Airmen - Air. Marines - Mud, Army - Concrete, Sailors - Steel

Yeah, now it is getting a bit worrisome. If you have your receipt double check the addy to make sure where it was sent.

Nothing good to report. Talked to my letter carrier today. There's nothing I can do at this end. All inquires should be made at the origin zip code.

And we have some movement??? Good indicator!
A very good thing since I had nothing good to report at this end either. :angry: Called the USPS this morning and spoke with them regarding the lack of the scan form when it was picked up. I have the receipt form from the carrier but the "new gal" did not scan the scan form as required. He said he'd talk with her about it, but there really isn't anything they can do since it wasn't insured.
I hope since its now in NH. Doc will see this tomorrow. ???
