I served. USN USS AMERICA CV-66 A.B.E.

Drydocked, Norfolk Va. ( the carrier was docked 6 years)

Became a hell of a janitor!

Ahhhhh the things that they never showed on Top Gun......

(actually, I never saw the movie but, I am fairly certain that they didn't show the guys in prison issue dungarees mopping the same damned deck for 6 years)

Thankful for the guys and dolls who served. Wish my enlistment rendered more than ninja jedi janitor status and more drugs than I have ever seen in my life but, we don't get to choose our orders.




Wow, you got to use a mop? We were on hands and knees washing the deck but luckily our ships were a heck of a lot smaller than the American ships. LOL


What kinda barge Girl? I was on an Aircraft carrier. 187 jets and 5,000+ guys..in its time, it was the big one. Then the Reagan docked next to us and was about 300' longer. I heard the Kennedy was insanely big.


We don't have aircraft carriers in our military. The ships I sailed on were the Annoplis Class destroyers. We were the first women to ever sail on combat ships in the Canadian Navy. I wrote an article for a book about my experiences. Many years ago we had an carrier called the Bonaventure. All my ships I sailed on are now reefs and we finally got some new ships. I was a boatswain.



Thanks for that info. I never knew there were no carriers in the Canadien Navy. We have the Aircraft carrier Midway here as a museum here in SD. Across the Harbor from us you can find the Aircraft carrier John Stennis and I also hear the Reagan is home ported here. I go down to the harbor and see these massive aircraft carriers and see that the Midway is puny compared to those across the way.

I just read that Don Meredith, the Cowboys quarterback(he of "turn out the lights, the party's over" fame),has passed away. I will remember his unassuming ways(aw shucks !!) and his brilliant career. I am not a Cowboys fan, but he was one of my favorite players.

RIP "Dandy Don" !!!!!

Cold here in Ohio tooo.. 25 right now at 10:30am...just a covering of snow but flurries.. Hate to think of going out today but need to have lab work...brrrr Keep warm all!flowerforyou


In San Diego: 50 degrees with the sun trying to make its way out. Our mountain areas two hours east of here get all the snow. I drove school buses over there to take kids to winter camp. Cutbacks have forced the kids not to go as much as they used to.Oh, but how they loved to throw snowballs. After all these were kids from the inner city. A lot of them never played in snow all their lives!!!!!

Soooo, so far there are 4 of us who have done 'about nothing' and ended up hooked up at least for a time that was good.

They say lightening never strikes twice, I pretty much am at work or home alone...In fact I have become such a hermit that when someone does knock on my door I about jump out of me skin!


If you heard thats song before, it describes me. If someone calls me, I celebrate.happy happy laugh

It offends me that big business uses Holidays to convince people to buy buy buy.........and to lose the true meanings behind the celebrations


It is called "commercialization" and it has ruined the holiday and its true meaning. Giving something is the most beautiful thing, even if it only your heart. Smiles are free and the heart accepts kindness readily and without doubt.

If one hates/despises something, wouldn't it make sense to move to where it didn't exist?

We're expecting lows of 38 tonight, with highs into the mid-60s during the day. I think some people here saw snow briefly, and I remember seeing it the last around when I was single-digits old. If you don't like snow, move south!


Here here!!! I followed your advice, which is why I find myself here in San Diego. NOOOOO SNOW!!!!
