  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

alonesoldier,


Thanks for sharing!!

I thought I'd do the same, but mine are ...... um historical (20+ years ago) compared to yours, lol.


The first picture was taken by me as the launch was leaving the boat to take us on shore leave. The king of Morrocco was hosting an arab summit and asked his old friend Ronald Reagan for a show of force. We were sent to anchor in the harbor off of Tangiers. One night while on deck I was listening to a spanish language radio station and they were playing american "new wave" music, made me real homesick, but I thought it was pretty cool.



The second photo is me standing topside while we were resupplying for a "northern run". That night we got underway, and once submerged didn't surface for 72 days. It was my toughest run but it earned our boat some very significant awards for the "mission" we accomplishe. (Sorry, can't share,lol)
Hey, another sailor! Ahoy shipmate! :wave:

This is me ten years ago in the US Navy:

Actually, come to think of it, this would be about 14 years ago as this was in 1989 in basic training. *sigh* was I ever this young? ;)

Here are two pics of my hubby. The first one is from the Marine Corps Ball and the second is with his buddy in Iraq. He was in Iraq for 5 months last year and is going back over in 2 weeks. God Bless America! I am proud of all of our service men and women:)

Even more of Hound's stuff from OIF. I've got plenty of this stuff.The first one is me and some the boys with the cast of NCIS. The second is an older photo of us in action. The last is how we did our laundry before we crossed the Iraqi border.
