[CWOJackson]

We love it. One of the great things about the Coast Guard is the average unit is commanding by a CPO or a CWO (Search and Rescue Stations and Patrol Boats being our most numerous units).

At total I had 30.5 years when I retired. The CO's wife is the go to person for the other wives when you're underway...most of our units are in small coastal communities not those huge luxury bases you folks have.

We were up at Ft. Lewis a while back when the wife heard someone talk about volunteers for benefits work; a lot of Guard/Reserve units go through there.

We've loved every minute of it. People seem to forget that our spouses and children serve just as much as we do, they just don't wear a uniform and get even less appreciation.

SO WHAT! You act like an a$$ on this board to me and others and yuck it up like it's all a big joke. Put it on your homepage. And in all that time you never learned the correct slang word for junkfood?! Give me a break!
If you acted like this to your fellow crewmwn it's lucky you didn't get deep sixed off of the fantail! Quit blowing your own horn, you're sounding like sKerry!
