To all who are serving, or have served, thanks. The BC Comic from today sums it up nicely.

Navy License Plates
For those of you who don’t know, I am very recently retired from the Navy after 23 years.
If you have ever seen my cars, you realize I like personalized license plates. I have changed them quite a few times whenever I find something that amuses me and have had such winners as ILBBAC, GEEKDAD, WARDRM, and currently HHRYNW8 on my HHR.
I am going to get a Retired Armed Forces-Navy plate and I am having trouble deciding what to get on it to summarize my Navy time from being an Enlisted bubblehead to a SWO/IP CDR. I considered NVRAGN (Never Again) but it was taken. A few others were too but the following are available.
- SUBSWO
- CDRRET
- QM CDR
- FUUO
- SWO SS
- LNDLKD
- NOMORC
- NO PRT
- FINEX
- BKSHOE
So, would love to hear your opinion on what I should get from the list, or, if you have a better idea (6 letters) please send it on.
Thanks in advance and I hope you all have the most joyous of holidays!

An open letter to all who serve(d)…
I was asked by a colleague to write a short note to some individuals who were retiring from the Navy, kind of like a ‘thanks from a grateful nation’ thing. I was pleased with how it came out and was thinking it was appropriate for more people than originally intended, so I decided to post it here. Continue reading An open letter to all who serve(d)…
Triple crossing…
On my website’s About page, I have the following;
“I have crossed beneath the Atlantic Ocean in a submarine, crossed over its surface on a ship and flew over it in an airplane. I have never met anyone else who has done all three.”
