They hurt worse. Oh, if you could just think of some dirty words, you could feel better quicker. p_toad, HARO50, Larry Buskirk and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlGatorwood Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 Oh, you worked under the dome where everything was tight. I remember seeing them. We had VA-165 onboard USS America in 1970 when we cross the equator 4 times, circled the globe and encountered a couple or Russian Bearcats as we were flexing our muscles in the China Sea after the seizure of the USS Pueblo. Talk about cold. Thanks for your service and welcome home, Lew. HARO50, Cal, p_toad and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
