A warm welcome to all new members , read/ digest/post / and stay away from yella , he's bad

**YellowFever** · 16 Nov 11,, 17:46

New guys, we have a rule here on WAB that plainly states that a fee wil be collected for evey post you submit.

Please e-mail me your pay-pal information as I am the official board treasurer.....

You can, however, get around this by saying something nasty about tankie...

Oh, and welcome aboard.

Reville is at 8 am and the first ten posts must consist either sheep jokes and/or Celine Dion pictures.

Hope you enjoy your stay with us.

Hello all,

First of all thanks USSWisconsin for showing the proper area for a Introduction!

Im Thomas, Im 16 years old (young!) & is currently a Junior in High school. Im about 70 or so miles from NYC & about 2 hours & 100 miles from the USS Salter in Albany, NY where I occasionally volunteer when I am albe to get up there. As I think you can tell; Im intreasted in Naval sorts of stuff. As of now you will most likely find me in the Destroyer Escort Historical Museum, USS Slater (DE-766) thread.

P.S If you happen to have any other questions for m i would be more than willing to answer!

Should have warned them not to sacrifice the sheep, just to make a joke or two (not more, tho)

I'm waiting to see what I can get from Tankie for the reverse situation!

Ah, but you're mistaken, Doc.

Because I wanted to make the navy feel at home the reveille is at 8 and sheep jokes are encouraged.

But don't expect anything from tankie. He used to be a tanker......nuff said!

And in his mind ,,,,,he still is ,,siggggggggggggh / where did the years go

**bigross86** · 17 Nov 11,, 09:07

Once a tanker, always a tanker. I can climb into my tank now and still run the systems perfectly and be threading targets at 2.5km while going 30 kmh. And I'll still know how to do all that when the systems all go tits-up and it has do be done manually. I thank a particularly sadistic TC during advanced training for that...
