Its been 43 years for me the **** were the DI key word.Cleaned original up for the ladies
Dear Coast Guard
43 years ago today I started my adventure, when the recruiter arrived at my house at 0900 to pick me and my two friends up to give us a ride to Cleveland Ohio and the Airport. It was an adventure and we were all smiles and excited no fears or homesickness yet. Me and the boys thought heck nine weeks of camp life how bad can it be?
Well we arrived at a Restaurant in Cape May a little Pizzeria with our instructions to call this phone number. Well we noticed more young fellas arriving and soon a guy in uniform arrived with a lot of stripes a red agitate and a swagger stick and he was not Father Murphy all of you A holes that joined my Coast Guard get on that ******* bus and shut your ******* mouth. As all of you know this was just the beginning of the fun and the night was sheer terror. Push ups and the sentence of the night asked you was always “What the **** are looking at” Give me 20!
The next morning they fed us and the nine week guys serving told us they are forming companies tomorrow you better pray that you don’t end up with BM1 Turner. Well gentleman, I did end up with BM1 Turner as the Bad Cop and Chief Ladd as the Good Cop and BM1 Turner was one bad ass SOB that when it was all said and done I am glad I served under him. Thanks Boats for turning a scared Kid in to A Man.
Today this 61 year old still:
{1} Loves Captain Crunch Cereal
{2} when I leave a sales meeting always says to the folks “Smoke em if ya got em”
{3} The words Clown and Grinder does not mean the same to me as it does a non Coasty
{4} A door is a hatch, A wall is a Bulk Head, and I walk on the Deck.
{5} Has the shiniest shoes in the company. A little water and Kiwi amazeing.
{6} When I am at a store and my wife says give me 20 I start doing pushups.
All Kidding aside I thank you Coast Guard for the education and the Privilege to serve with some of the finest men in the world. The Only mistake I made was 39 years ago today I took those discharge papers.
