Refueling is the theme for this year’s Veteran’s Day picture(s) of Yours Truly. Ground refueling on the left, in-flight refueling on the right. Both pictures taken in 1985.

First thing I said to my fellow alum wife when they showed up in those unis was that SU is going to lose this game. She accused me of not having faith. I replied that SU hardly ever wins with gimmick uniforms and because they won with one last week means they lose with one this week.

Tiger Cruise for Connie in Summer 1985. One of the demonstrations for the embarked visitors was a ship race. Connie, one Kidd DDG, one SpruCan, two Perry FFG’s, and two Knox FF’s. I was crewing the H-2 tasked with dropping the smokes at 1nm and 5nm. A “sprint” and a “distance” run, if you will. The Admiral gave the word and off they went. The Fig7’s won the sprint with the two destroyers in close 2nd. By the time they hit the 5 mile marker, Connie was easily two ship lengths in front of everyone. And it took that oil-burning steam-powered ship almost 2nm to slow down.

@CyborgPeds I use the quote from Indiana Jones “fly, yes, land (hover), no.”

Hit like and give me a retweet if you’ve ever gone into a government building, shown an old man your butthole, and it wasn’t a felony. #IYKYK

Retweet please. I want to see how far this gets 😁
