Speaking as a former US Marine; they wouldn't even give us a Micky
Mouse watch - that way, not only did we not know what the hell the
brass was thinking, we never had to sweat when they were going to
spring another "grad plan" on us.
It just happened - then we'd do the rest.
Cheers!

Guys and gal!
I have to use the singular "gal" unless there's another lady out there
lurking, it will have to stay "GAL" Because there is only one lady in
the
crew. A our wonderful southern lady, Tina! :-)
Anyway the post below is what makes the LUG what it is.... a wonderful
bunch
of folks who have all kinds of life experiences and can make a touch of
humour out of it!
Mr. J. Braun and John Biava without realizing it, have given us, well me
anyway, a moment of Navy and Army timing methods, a kind of chuckle
related!! Thanks guys simply because it's sort of a fun meaningless
conversation, but it beats the heck out of "weird bridges and building
moments and other stupid so called security meaningless moments!"
Quite frankly a simple ray of sunshine for the day! Thanks.

When I was in Viet Nam the "underground radio" at Tan Son Nhut had to
play
big band and jazz during Happy hour at the O club ( and
not a bad thing ), as "requested" by the Airfield Commander. I was on
one
of the usual go-fer runs back up to company HQ and the
maint. shop when I got to overhear:
" For you Air Force types it is now 6 PM. For you Army types it is
now
1600 hours. And for the Marines out there Mickey's big
hand is on the 12 and his little hand is on the 6.".
So was she a Marine ? {:o)
