You're in Trouble Now - A Raptor and SEALS

[John M BUNMAN]

Before 9/11 were the good ol’ days for seeing Navy stuff. In the mid to late ‘90’s, my dad had a sportfisherman boat that we took from Solomons Island to a marina near Norfolk Naval Base. We went past CVN-75 within 100ft. of it’s starboard side and I could see service members standing and smoking on the 03 level smoke deck. Little did I know that I’d be stationed on it 8 years later. It was much more luxurious than a sub, but it’s still a tin can. I enjoyed being embedded into various Army units in the middle East much more.

Thank You for your Service...Navy has some cool stuff.

Speaking of the Starboard side...here's a little trick for those who don't do this often. As long as you know your left from your right you will always know what is port/starboard and what is red and green.

Left and Right
Port and Starboard
Red and Green

In case ya missed it.....oneside has less letters than the others

Went on a decommissioned sub once.

So she referred to you as 'master'? She was no longer 'in the game'?

I have mad respect for sub people. It is crazy cheerleader tight and tiny. Couldn't do that months on end

Not what I would have expected with a retired pro...

I’ve heard of earning your Red-Wings and then getting the tattoo, same thing? Or TMI?
