Hooked up with an old navy bud I hadn't seen in 30 years. Now a retired Senior Chief Torpedoman's Mate. 26 years in the MK 46 surface ship fired torpedo. Never did subs. So he's a pretty good wiseass these days and since he was giving me crap left and right I figured I'd give him some back. So I said, "MK 46 torpedos, ain't them the little ones? Were they good for anything?"
He says, "Yes they were good for something."
Me, "Really? What was that?"
He says, "
Blowing *expletive deleted* up!" Spoken like a true Chief.
26 years in, joined a year after I did and retired in 2003. He's still married to the same girl I met on the mess decks 30 years ago. Four kids. Amazing story but talk about two
foul mouthed peeps that give each other a ration
constantly, two peas from the same pod, hoo boy...
