I always get a Coastie gift during the holidays.

This year I got two CG hats, and a pair of CG flip flops. My wife even got a powder blue CG hat.

Share what you got.

My oldest son, SN Bradley is home for the holidays. As far as his mother is concerned it's the best present of all.

That is always a great gift. Where is he stationed?

One of my neighbors gave me this.. they thought I'd get a kick out of it... I did, so I put it on my office door.

Jim, he's currently in BM A school down in Yorktown and hoping that Santa brings him a set of orders to something big and red. Guess he did learn something growing up, underway is the only way.

And Wray, if they don't give it up willingly maybe a little of that Captain and Coke you're always talking about will loosen them up, so to speak....

Bruce, they all give it up willingly ;)

Speaking of BM "A" and RTC, I just got an e-mail from Brian Roach.. I think he is the UTB School Chief.. I need to call him.. We go back many many years,... to my CAPSTAN days....

Wray.... :cool:

You know this discussion could be headed the way of the DADT thread!

Wray, you remember working the capstan? Wow! j/k, I know the cutter.
