Looking forward to retirement but I am going to miss the Navy and my Sailors. Been doing this since 1997. All this time I did not realize you were active duty. I like to kid or joke with my Navy friends, all the typical old Marine vs Navy stuff. Great to read your post. Thank you for all that you do. I joined in 89 made it to E5 but decided to try my luck at being a nasty civilian! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E3D Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I should have recorded my 3 nieces reaction to Drum Corps video's on youtube back in 2008 and posted them. 3 Japanese teenagers all played trumpet, and when I showed them drum corps they could not believe it. The activity has been active in Japan for a very long time but they were never able to see it, one day my wife mentioned drum corps and they did not have any idea what it was. Showed them and they become hooked. I was biased and showed them 85 Devils. 87 Garfield and all of BOSTON CRUSADERS that I could find. HAHA. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't get called Chief until E9...Chief MSgt. And if you retire at that rank, it becomes a nickname. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the dirtiest championship show of the modern era. Come on man. Let it go! Give props where they are due. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was just pure scorching for me. It was a long brutal season in 1988 and then it was capped off by the finals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
