Former Battleship Sailor here

Hello to all. Found this board a couple of weeks ago, and it seems to have some interesting and knowledgeable participants. Hopefully, I can contribute a little bit.

About me, I served for 4 years on the USS Iowa from 1986-1990, then 3 years at Joint Intelligence Center Pacific, 1 year in the Pearl of the Gulf (Bahrain) and 2 years with with the Amphibs at Little Creek Virginia before deciding to make my way as a civilian. I now work as an Information Security Specialist at one of the big Southeastern US banks in North Carolina.

Looking forward to some interesting and lively, albeit polite debates.

Since when did you expect polite debates between bellycrawlers, boat people, and the bird brains?
