Happy Veterans Day Sailor!!! 32nd Street, I was there!!! Everything Gary says is true lol. I remember talking for hours to Shore Patrol for hours drunk AF after being in TJ. Thanks Gary for cracking jokes until 6 a.m. and not giving me hell coming back crossing those tracks at the shack LMAO. I forgot about that, until I saw this 🤦🏿♂️

I remember my first Navy check after boot camp. I was thrilled that I had GUARANTEED WORK for the next 4 years (unless I did something stupid), a roof (so to speak) over my head and 3 squares a day. Better than many 19 year olds today. AND bc I did it for 24 years, the gift keeps on giving.

I wrestled for the Army back in 96, back when we were at Ft Benning before we had the team move to Carson. The current wrestling coach for the Army, Shon Lewis, was one of my wrestling partners. Our program is basically an Olympic training program, and we wrestle against NCAA teams all the time as well as international tournaments. Hometown heroes aren't always the ones that succeed as you get all sorts of wrestlers that come to tryouts. During my tryouts we had 160 people try out and after about 30-45 days you end up with about 30-40 wrestlers, and you have to know/learn Greco Roman and freestyle. It's a meat grinder. I wrestled in the 52kg category and wrestled dozens of NCAA wrestlers, foreign opponents. I was ranked # 3 in the US for Greco, and I placed 3rd in the Olympic trials in 96 but failed to place in the team tournament. It was a great time on the team, and saw a few friends make it and place in the Olympics. Hats off to your friend for trying and giving his best, but there's always someone out there who's better than you so train hard.

Yeah, I was driving back on base at Cory Station Pensacola after out drinking with the boys. Gate SP guard was grilling me about a report of someone driving on officer housing yards. I denied, denied, denied. They let me on base. When I parked and got out I saw there was a huge bush stuck under my car and hanging out in clear view of the SP. Yeah, I'd been doing donuts in officer yards, but they let me thru. Guess too much paperwork.

WAY more accurate than you'd imagine... I was working the gate one night, and a guy rolls up to the gate at 10 and 2.... Oh no..... He rolls down the window to show me his ID, and it smelled like the mens room at the bar..... Oh no..... I said to him " I'm about to ask you a question, and I want you to listen real close, cause I'm gonna ask you how much you've had to drink. If you say 1 beer, I'm gonna call for a breathalyzer, and if you say 3, I'm probably going to just give you the DUI, so remember, the correct answer is 2 beers, do you understand?" He says yes... I take a breath, and ask, how much have you had to drink.... I could see the gears turning, and I already knew we were both screwed..... He smiles and says, I didn't have any beers, cause we were doing shots all night!.... I turn and see my relief standing there, so I turn around, hand him the guys ID, and say the guy needs directions to the airport, and I walked away..... I thought he was gonna be mad at me forever, but when I saw him later, he thanked me, it was raining all day, and he had to go in the process the guy.

They gave you the answer! I was an instructor in AIT, we would tell the students “you may see this again” and stomp our boot three times. It never failed that someone would miss the question and want to argue. We would go over the test at the end of the day on Friday. We would tell the students that since PVT Smith had a question we will stay until he’s satisfied. It was amazing how quickly PVT Smith’s was convinced by his classmates.
