It was the "Nuclear Powered" thing that caused the big hassle, I was really looking forward to seeing Japan ? 

I remember hearing about that issue…

it was expensive, and the Suntory whiskey sucked. The beer was good.

We had nuclear ASROCS onboard DDG-14, but nobody talked about them. I remember hearing about the testing, fire one and book at 30 knots in the opposite direction, the ship still took serious structural damage. Destroyers were expendable, all to save the carrier. 

We had 4 engine rooms w/ 2 reactors in each engine room, I didn't even know they mothballed the Big E in 2017 until 2020, gonna be a long time before the get that monstrosity turned into razor blades.

I have a patch somewhere for the USS Chicago being turned into razor blades in 1980, I was on the decomm crew. The captain was pissed and banned them from being worn.

I remember being in a sushi restaurant in Fukuoka, the locals were buying us drinks for being “poor US sailors”. We were singing rock-n-roll songs along with the jukebox, woke up with on hell of a headache.

I wouldn’t trade one minute of those 5 years for a million dollars. It made me who I am today.

haha… I have a lot of memories that are not printable.

almost got married in both Taiwan, and Olongapo. Fortunately, neither happened. We are what/where we are now because of our past… wouldn’t trade my life for $100 million.

Back on the music thread…

I had a meeting with a client last week, they want me to add photos to my technical report. I HATE putting pictures in my report. So I made the comment about “27 8-1/2x11 glossies with circles and arrows, and a paragraph on the back”. I got complete blank stares, so I asked who has heard Arlo Guthrie’s “Alice’s Restaurant”. More blank stares…🤯🤯🤯

I sent them a link to the YouTube song, no one watched it, it was too long.😢😢
