[quote=Rustico][quote=Allan from Fallbrook][quote=Russell]It happens everytime I contemplate going back to “Rustico” with my screen name.[/quote]
Rus: You should go back to “Rustico” and I say that in all honesty (well, with maybe a smidgen of irony). That was a great handle and, given your hanging out in the bucolic great outdoors and enjoying a simple, sustainable lifestyle, it fits perfectly.
I could also suggest “Swab Jockey”, but that might get misinterpreted.[/quote]
Thanks, Allan, That’s all it took. I still won’t touch anything but a string mop for cleaning duty.[/quote]
Rus: And, after watching a Navy detail pretty much mop an entire missile frigate one time, I completely understand why.
As an Army officer, I was taught to lead by example and to participate equally in any work my men did. Not so much with the Navy. There were a pair of young officers (ensigns) watching this detail work, all the while smoking cigs and talking.
