They'll always be second string to those Tomcat guys. No one loved them like they loved themselves.

Ah, very nice.

My cousin is a stick actuator in 18's. I was but a mere maintainer.

I would play poker with his group of buddies for a time. If I had to hear them sing Dos Gringos one more time, I was flipping that damn table.

My buddy was telling me about one who, incredibly, was a huge POS and despised.
I won't say where he ended up but "in true Navy fashion, he was pushed upstairs to a plum assignment".
