I love his Navy stories.

yeah, subs would be a lot neater if they had windows. and on deck, you have to keep your wits about you at all times. a jet turned and his exhaust just blew tony over, and rolled him across the deck! crazy stuff. he saw another guy get sucked into the intake of a jet-guy was lucky to make it. he was a bigger guy, so he only got pulled in a bit. eric's going to drive cross country, so he's making stops along the way. hubby's uncle is in phoenix, so eric's stopping off there after leaving here.
ah, youth. wasted on the young!!
