Nvm, I accidentally had it set on "mobile" view. Bit of an oxymoron that ...
It wasn't you Bopesy, mine was jacked up too, but you cleared it up for me. Thanks!
Rider, welcome to the forum and the thread. Fellow squid here, although I wasn't on the big luxury liner like you. I spent my sea time on an Amphib and Destroyer. Half the time on the destroyer was escorting the big flat tops and retrieving the squids that were blown off. SK2 when I got out. Thank you for your service, sir! SALUTE!
If you make the muster, we will have to work on the Texan hierarchy. Too many of you jokers around here already. Tiny works for me tho, Paul.
Last word of advice, our recruitment process is thorough (slow). The Star Chambererers (Oldest Dodgiest Codgerest of MOM) are very dedicated (lazy) when reviewing applications (source of great entertainment and fodder for ridicule). Many applicants (poor saps that don't know any better) grow impatient (impatient) and move on to apply to other (lesser) squads. Please be patient ( insert your thumb in your....) and the Star Chambererers (senile old coots) will process (crumple, lose or burn) your application as soon as possible (when they bloody well feel like it). Please be advised (I told you so) it can take a few days (weeks, months, decades) before you hear anything. Meanwhile, feel free to read and post (intrude) on our thread so we can get to know (focus all sorts of jokes at your expense) you.
Lastly, I have an additional question. Cook does not mean bake. We here at MOM are interested in cake above all other culinary prowess. Are we to assume your reference to cooking means your adept at preparing the requisite sustenance?
Thank you parrot head for your welcome. i was an AO1 (redshirt) (for about two weeks) when i got out after tearing a tendon in ankle. I thank you for your sevice as well,RETURN SALUTE and i thank you for pulling some of my less cautious skittles from the drink.... i can assume from the seniority (old age) of most members you and i served at diffrent times (seeing as how more and more sk jobs are going to contractors). iwas on the linclon, IKE, and the first crew of the reagan fromm 99 to 2004.
i will wait happily the reqired time for my application to be proccessed, i was taught to respect my elders (old people like yall) and i realize that with all the visits to the uroligist (viagra), poditrist (prescrition SAS shoes), trips to the hospital (hip replacement), going to the store(buying prune juice), and going out to eat (going to golden corral at 3:57pm to pay for lunch and eat dinner) that when the day has ended (after re-runs of JAG, and walker texas ranger) youve had a full day. So take your time. I have submitted a FULL application including ALL bribes and un-reasonable requests (per rule six) and will gladly forward to any MOM or gold star member that asks.
after examining the members list, i realized there are lots of texans among yalls ranks, i like this. we texans are a special breed, we are a country unto ourselves, we have ALL the resourses and types of climates and lands as all the other states combined, we have produced more actors, Generals, Admirals and US presidents than any other state in the union, we have the 13th largest economy in the world. we are the best, so it stands to reason that when joining clubs, groups, faterenal orginizations (ie MOM) we would want to belong to the best
Last, i CAN prepare all reqired sustenance as i am a classicly trained chef, i dont do pastry, but certan "cooks deserts" i can manage (cake, pie,tarts,ice cream and so on)
EDIT: i want to clarify something tat didnt look right to me, i was AO my entire time in the USN, i had only just made 1st class(e6)
