    Default 12 years ago today I was in the Red Sea onboard USS Briscoe DD977 and....

    I was prepping my launcher and firing Tomahawks on those cocksuckers in Sudan for the embassy bombings.

    I was able to press the launch button for "Lucky" #7 bird to fly.

    Some tanker was in the direct flight path of the Tomahawks, and kept radioing to us "Please Ammedican Warship, stop firing myssiels at us".
    We never responded and kept on firing.

    Actual launch looking Forward




    Looking AFT

    I thought Marines were part of Navy but didn't want to admit it-Thanks to all for their service.
    Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.

    You can always tell a Marine, just use small words. Pictures in crayon help too...
