[QUOTE="Lexjacket, post: 15885, member: 341"] Boomer you already know the story, but since I'm new here I'll 'splain' it to the others. That is a picture of me in 1973 on board the USS Constellation CVA-64. We were in Subic Bay, P.I. and I was about to go on Shore Patrol in Olongapo the town just outside the base. My assignment that night was too take Sailors and Marines back to their ships or barracks because they were too drunk to get back on their own. We were taking a young (he was 17 or 18) Marine back to his barracks because he was 'knee-walking drunk' and he was very distraught (he was about to cry) because his Philippino girlfriend had gotten mad at him and called him a 'communist'. He kept muttering that he was no 'expletive' communist and kept asking us for a cigarette. I finally got tired of his whining and said 'Look Marine, just shut up, I don't care about your girlfriend and I don't smoke so I don't have any cigarettes'. He stared at me for about 10 seconds, leaned over and threw up in my lap. My beautiful starched whites were ruined, when I got back to the Constellation I went straight to the flight deck stripped off and threw my uniform into Subic Bay. Boomer thinks it's funny and I have to admit 40 years later so do I. :unsure: One of the things I love about Georgia Tech is their history with the Navy. During WWII they were an Annapolis annex and have produced many fine Naval and Marine Officers. [/QUOTE]
