At least use a different username, like sarnaliduece does...

"Funny, but that Springer looks like it has a leaky Buell motor in it!?"

I'm waiting for someone to ask what a "snipe" is...

A hint for the audience; there's at least two kinds - one has feathers.

I too was on Indy, from 78 - 81; my first ship. I was a fresh-caught (NROTC) Ensign, and was in R-Division for the first two years. One of those years I was the ship's Fire Marshal. I sat the Engineering Officer of the Watch; I usually spent a lot of time trying to explain why we had fuel in the drinking water.

I then went to Navigation Division so I could get my Warfare quals, then it was off to Dive School.

Still in the Reserves. Retirement date is 1 September.

I didn't ride a motorcycle until I was 36.
