Beer It Forward

[BeerMeDuffMan]

Sand Diego is correct and the warship that I am referring to is the USS Midway. If you get the chance to visit the museum, I would recommend it. I actually went through boot camp in SD and my family made a mini vacation when they came out to attend the graduation.

Wonderful weather, we would have black flag weather days where they wouldn't let us PT outside because of heat. Being from Mississippi my whole life, I always scoffed at what they were calling too hot.

Anyhow, lets hope everything makes it OK.

Well then, Semper Fi brother

I did boot in Parris Island way back in 98. My family came out for graduation...the day we finished the Crucible it was 89 degrees, the practice days for graduation was 90...graduation day, 62. Flying back home on Christmas eve and we were stuck in a holding pattern above the city for 3 hours due to three inches of snow on the ground.

I picked up my little brother from Parris Island after his graduation, what a terrible place.

We had much more fun when I picked him up from 29 Palms and drove to Vegas for his 72 hrs leave before his first deployment :rockin:

I did MOS training at 29 Stumps from February until July of 99. What a long few months that was, although the surrounding area was really nice. The sunrise views while standing firewatch in the morning were very nice, too. Nothing beat watching that sun rise from Sugar Cookie Mountain.

Yes, I actually was in Comms. 2631 ENLIT Signal Intel. 29 Palms , I am guessing you were field radio?

Majority of my time was spent at Lejeune. I also went on several "excursions".

LOL those were the days. Talk about a REALLY small world
I spent most of my time with 8th COMM, but we did SOCEX with the 22, I did my first three months with Base comm before I was signed over to 8th COMM since my MOS (HF) was going away.

You are most welcome. I am glad you like the bottle opener I started hand carving those about 2 months ago and recently have been using them in trades, They work great if I do say so myself.

Enjoy

Nice. Super jealous. Been wanting to try nugget nectar and zombie dust for sometime now. Is that a wood bottle opener with a metal circle screwed into to crack the caps? Very cool

 

[pointcity-homebrew]

I use a coin as the pry mechanism and I have a magnet that keeps the cap in place.

The first combo eMAW/BIF is on its way to the NE for a Saturday delivery!

Hmmmm....now how does that work? By definition, an eMAW is requested, a BIF is not.

The eMAW request was "send some beers to someone else for me"
