But Drifty....we may be skimmers, but I was part of the All Volunteer Navy and I chose NOT to go down on them things that were LONG, BLACK, HARD, AND FULL OF SEAMAN!

And...Now this is no shitter, I heard my entire Navy career, that you have to watch them bubbleheads. When they deploy....100 men go down, but 50 couples come back!
