Navy, for like the past trillion years. We’re tired of dusting it so we might let you guys have it this year.

Great post HG. Indeed Navy has had it so long we’ll have to get a lift just to get it out of the depression in the floor it’s created.
It’ll head out west for a year soon and then we’ll see what happens next year. Army is starting to make the turn so we may have a REAL 3-way competition for a change. Course a tie means it stays where it’s at.
lol. You guys remind me of my nephew and brother-in-law. The dad was Navy and the son is Marines so whenever we have our whole family together and have some kind of game, like basketball, horseshoes, etc, they battle it out.
I found an old music book in my grandma’s stuff and read the words to the Marines’ Hymn (the part we never sang in grade school, lol), particularly “If the army and the navy ever look on Heaven’s scenes, they will find the streets are guarded by United States Marines!”
My kids and I laughed our fool heads off on that one. I sent the words to my nephew and asked if they still use that. He said yeah, they still sing it loud and proud.
I suppose it would make more sense to my kids now if we watch “The Absent-Minded Professor”, when the military leaders pretend that they are unified and cooperating but they each have their own intelligence and try to beat the other to find out about flubber. lol.
