This is exciting because we'll be the only online website for US Navy Vets that will be 100% charitable - and give all profits back to V… Continue

Out to Sea... Perhaps!
As soon as everyone caught wind that I didn't have orders in Orlando, I was shipped out within a couple of weeks to the USS Coontz DDG-40 up in Norfolk, Virginia. The USS Coontz had quite an illustrious career but it was quickly coming to a close.
The Coontz just returned from a Med Cruise with the USS Stark. Som… Continue

From Mini-Mo to 4.0 - Boot Camp
Old habits are hard to get rid of, so I brought my partying lifestyle right into the Navy. In boot camp, my smart mouth got me a 'mini-motivational tour' and quite a few visits to division officers sidewalk - once for trying to beat the heck out of my RCPO. I think Walker and Millhouse, my… Continue

Obama's VA Healthcare Program a Test for Universal Healthcare
I suppose I'm encouraged that the VA will finally be removed from the chopping block, where it seems to be found every year. On the other hand, celebration of the move may be premature as this may be a mo… Continue

- Thanks Doug for the Welcome, I also was not in country, I guess the Gov doesn't recogize being off the coast as boots on ground.

- Suggestion: Maybe you should have a category for 'Vietnam Era' veterans. I sure don't want to make it appear I was 'in country' when I wasn't.

- Oops, I didn't actually serve 'in country' in Vietnam, but I was on active duty in support of troops there.

Kelley Boyd said… - Doug, Thanks for your comment on my blog. There is nothing better than talking about your experiences with men that shared them and understand how things were and are now. Good friends are made and old ones become closer!

- Doug, I have no excuse. After I signed on in 2008, I just completely forgot about this site until you sent me a notice about the 1000 th person to come aboard. Thanks & I will be a bit more involved now, but what can you expect from an Airdale, eh?
