"I am convinced, Our Father, that your fondest feelings are reserved for the least pretentious and most genuine of us. I am sure that Aviation Boatswain's Mates are some of your favorites. Certainly Aviation Boatswain's Mates have yet to find the virtues of humility, or soft-spokenness or gentleness. They do lead with their jaws, and they always seem to be more ready to fight than to switch. They can be singled out by their red eyes, and by a grubbiness which is a mark of their trade, but their wills match their strong backs, and their love of each other is a wondrous thing to behold. They are the salt of the deck, and the saltiness is honest and open, and they are uniquely your sons. We are grateful for them. As you love them specially, we mark them particularly tonight. Bless them every one, and forever keep them from harm and hurt. In Christ's name, Amen."
Best Friends All of HHC(-) 1st Battalion 94th Armor, especially Transportation Section.
Best Moment There were a lot of these
Worst Moment Stomping through Donald Blom's swamp, looking for a body, ruining all of my uniforms, wishing we could just take Blom back with us in the bus and distribute some justice.
Other Memories Yes, I understand that there is no such thing as a Petty Officer in the Army, but a "Specialist E-4" is not one of the choices.
