Dads on Moms.....com

Well we got a phone call from our SAILOR earlier...they wrapped up training earlier this morning with a VERY successful run at BattleStations 21.

Division 267 had 100% Passing with a total score of 4.5 out of 5. 

And according to their RDC, they were also the only DIV to NOT sink their ship!

Amazing as just a few short weeks ago they were known as "The Screw Up Division"

Friday can't get here soon enough!

BravoZulu Dad2Dman!   Nice to know there will be Sailors out in the fleet who won't sink ships!

DADS come over and join this group

scare them boys away I knew they
couldn't keep up with us women.........

No-- it's me.... I'm a thread killa!!!!

Nah...I think the subject just needs to be laid to rest at this point. 

Anyone wanna talk football since the practice games are almost over? College football should be starting soon and my alma mater is NUMERO UNO. 

LOL AbbyBlue!!!!

I didn't know a football from a baseball until I went to college at a school that had an excellent dental hygiene program and happened to be well known for football.

Go Chargers! 

Maybe it's time for something lighter.  How about Sailor Songs?

This is just a little light break from the intensity of the problems we attempt to solve. It felt to me that we were just going around in circles and I don't like to meet myself coming and going....

In honor of your favorite team, Jack, and an alum of my school and your team...Junior Seau.

Hey jp!  Here's for all our Sailor men and women...

GO BROWNS!  I love football!

Denise, I gave up on the NFL when they stole our Browns from us, moved them to another city, then proceeded to win the Super Bowl. The idea that Art Modell got to hold the trophy made me too ill to keep watching.

I hate the start of pro football season (especially in our town with our owner). Although my wife and I have become big high school football fans. We also have gotten into travelling around the country to catch some of the more storied college football games. This year we're hoping to catch both Alabama and Ol Miss at home.

FTLW....I read a book called "Get Your Own Damn Beer I'm Watching the Game" by Holly Robinson Peete.  She was the wife of Rodney Peete, quarterback at USC.  It is a hoot and explains the game and the different positions of the defense and offense. 

I have to say that I tend to like players on team and the team colors not so much the teams, especially those players who went to a Pac-12 School.  There are only two teams I really really don't like and #1 is the Cowboys.  Never liked them...it is visceral.  The other team I have an unexplainable dislike of is the Broncos....I think it's the colors. 

You have to understand I grew up in LA.  When the Rams were the talk of the town, I was going to symphonies and operas and museums.  I do know who Roman Gabriel, Rosie Grier and Merlin Olsen are but I didn't really watch them. 

I now live in the NW and all we have are the Seachickens...er...Seahawks.  I remember their early days with Jim Zorn and Steve Largent 'cause my sister lived there and had season tickets. 

And finally, my former husband was a high school teacher and basketball coach.  Every year the coaches and teachers had a weeklyNFL football pool during the season.  I won it on many occasions, to the chagrin of many of the guys.  They asked me what my system was and all I could say was I went by my gut which was influenced by: the team colors, the cuteness of the players or an unexplainable something. I know...no logic but that's what worked!

Whew....long post!!

Thanks, Jack! That was AWESOME!!

"Fight on for old SC, our men fight on to victory."  Visualize majestic Traveler (beautiful white steed) and the mighty USC Trojan band with a cast of a thousand. USC is rated #2 pre-season. Hubby (Stanford grad) said, "Get tickets. Either side is OK for me."  Stanford ticket website open at 9:00AM. I got on at 9:15 - tickets all sold out. Checked out Ticketstub.com. End zone up high. $250 per ticket. 50 yard line - $650 per ticket. I guess we'll tailgate at home.

BunkerQB...OH YEAH!!  I haven't been to a game there in a loooong time.  And I can hear that fight song and see Traveler as if were right here and now.  I heard they are #1 in the pre-season ratings.  Thanks for the walk down memory lane!!

Oh, BTW, I was there the night Ron Ayala kicked the field goal as time expired that sent the Trojans to the Rose Bowl.  And....I remember watching Jim Plunkett throw that football to Randy Vataha (sp?).  It traveled 50 yards IN THE AIR.  Great memories as I learned about football. 

the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink

Thanks, AbbyBlue!  I was by a river on Saturday night, sitting on the deck at my friend's house looking up at the stars.  We were winkin' a lot and they winked back.

Sorry Navy didn't do well today but USC is beating Hawaii so far in the second quarter it's 26-0.  Fight on!!!

As a Navy Mom, I am always looking for excellent websites that relate to or honor our military. I found this terrific site called LittleFeatsJewelry.com. They sell all kinds of Military Jewelry - with quite a few NAVY designs. Check it out!

OK where are all the men you get a group going and then go back to your little hide out. dont be strangers

Mayflower, I certainly hope you're not spamming on my page. The brig hasn't been cleaned out in a while.

FWIW, I note both Mayflower and her recommended site is in the same city, so until I learn differently, I'm going to assume Mayflower is merely spamming. I note her entire profile is marked on private.

Not sure on what group to announce this but my nephew, a CRNA in the Army, was pinned Lt. Col on last Saturday.  So proud of him.  He is the one who inspired my son to become a Corpsman.

Thanks, Sub Dad.  He wrote a beautiful piece on what it meant to him when many told him he should give up.  He is a bit unorthodox with a wonderful sense of humor and duty. He spoke eloquently on what it was to be a mentor and talked about his mentors. His wife is a surgeon and they are generally deployed together as a team although they area currently stateside.  They have been all over, needless to say. And to think...I used to change his diapers!  Sigh.

So very proud of him!

WOW! Very impressive.

AbbyBlue...I think all the guys were watchin' the first NFL game tonight or the Convention.  I was at a class so I missed both.

This board is DEAD! Just proves men have keep their thoughts to themselves. Perhaps we need a poll on favorite beer or food to eat during the game?

No the board is not dead! I don't hang out here because of all the emotioms that get posted. I do find somethings comical that do get written.

dramasoul you stop posting all your emotions

meh... I lost the wind in my sails.  Got a million things to say, bottled up inside.  Probably need another bottle to unbottle 'em.

AbbyBlue...I will if you will!!

Jack...FTLW couldn't have said it better.  Just when you think things might be going a little more smoothly, something comes along to remind you that that is not the case....

Oh, changed my Profile Pic...taking a break from Snoopy!

The one I have now is of my Hubby when he was in Qatar 12 years ago. One of the guys from his unit took great pictures and this is one of the best. I had it put on his Welcome Home cake.

FTLW...that is a great picture!  It is acceptable to take a break from Snoopy...sigh.

Wow 30 years?  SFS? Congrats on the anniversary!
