My introduction to this site

I will first say that I am not really all that good when it comes to talking about who I am or what I have done with my life. Even though I am only 30 I have done and seen more things in my life than most people will ever get to. For starters I served in the navy for almost 9 years and it that time I served on four different aircraft carriers and stepped on to the soil and into the cultures of 12 different countries. I recently got out of the navy due to a combination of personal reasons and permanent injuries due to the job that I did while serving. I am proud of my time in because it opened me up to a whole new world of possibilities outside of the navy. I am soon to be married and looking forward to the next 70- 80 years of my life. I look forward to getting to know people here in the future.

Hey,,the brewery is dry!!! I'm comin your way to soak up the bitter. Anyways welcome BigB. Careful of who yer listen to here. Tilt yer head and close one eye especially when conversing with pronto. To scare him away put up a pic of a Joe Blake.

Keep a jug in yer hand and learn to point with the index finger at the same time. Trick is,,, to point over their shoulder, scull the jug,, then smash it on their head sideways.

Well, I do it that way in SA pubs.

Regards,

Bally.

Again welcome from a fellow sailor of a different culture. Only served on 1 carrier meself and the deck of that bstd ended up in China training potential navy aviators of their persuasion. Did get a run on the Forrestal and my ship camped it up with the Enterprise during a RIMPAC.

Guess we know a few mutual bars in the Pacific and maybe you met my daughters!!!

That said, "fair winds and following seas".

Kind regards,

Bally

Welcome to ATS!
