Here is a pic of me that is a little more updated, but not the most recent. I have to keep you all waiting as to what I really look like now :biggrin:

My dad needed a haircut and I'm not to bad at it, so he asked me to do it. (free and cheap, the best kind)

Nice job. Mcknia. You have a very happy father. I keep wondering why my girls won't do that for me

Had my official going away party last night. As long as I wore a shipmates sailor hat, I got free drinks. It was very eventful, to say the least.

Defend our country well young man. If you ever pull into my town for our annual sailor-fest, I will buy you all the drinks you want. Actually, I believe every person in any sailor-fest town will do the same.

We'll have the country back to normal when you get back.

Thanks lisab! At boot camp, probably not. At least I'm not going to expect it. That mean's i'll have to be without PF for two solid months... PF detox. :biggrin:

I'll have to take you up on that!:smile:

You know, that's one thing so far that I've really liked... the camaraderie. I've met so many new people (and few new friends) which were in the Navy and other branches of service, and the company is always a good feeling.

Thanks Astro! The US so far has a pretty good track record with sub safety, so I should be ok. If I was going into the Russian Navy, i'd definitely have a lot on my mind!

I'm feeling really jealous, now that I'm not so young...

My friend Pat and I claim we were smiling because we were being liberated from a Vietnamese POW camp.

Unfortunately, it was from boot camp, circa 1977...

One of my classmates ended up commanding a fast attack sub. Are you going for a fast attack or boomer?

Cyrus is very private. I have seen his picture and he is gorgeous. I believe it when he says he can use those crude lines on women and they don't object.

You should share a pic then, Evo :biggrin: Ugh, cute guys...:!)
 
  • #3,439
He's posted pictures of himself in chat.
 
  • #3,440
Ugh, I think I must have missed them all then.
 
  • #3,441
He's posted his fireman outfit in chat, it does not do him justice. I have a much better picture which I have sworn to never show anyone. I think MIH also has it.

A fireman outfit... :biggrin: I will have to coax one of you to sharing that one with me...lol.

its very cold. but, i was kind of forced into the job and to be honest it pays my bills, books and part of my tuition so i can't complain. although, i hate it :( nothing like an aching back and knees at 20 years old. oh, and getting cut is fun too.

Oh what joy...Yeah I know how you feel, aching after a days work is never fun. At my job, we aren't allowed to sit, lol, no time for it and no breaks either. So, I'm always hurting when I get home, and not to mention, I do cut myself a lot somehow at work, lol. I'm semi-accident prone.
 
  • #3,447
i have no where to sit :( and we don't have time for breaks either but, in my union contract (464a meat cutters union) I am entitled to two fifteen minute breaks and an hour lunch. regardless of what anyone says, i take them :D

just out of curiosity, what do you do?
 
  • #3,448
I'm not in any sort of union, lol.

I work at a pharmacy as a tech. (pill counters and bottles are sharp)

Looking good. The dress shirt fits you perfectly. If you want that pretty girl to be in the picture with you, I'd recommend shaving sometime soon!
