Beadwindow!

There were NO HOOKERS at Cubi!

I say again...there were NO HOOKERS at Cubi!

There were an astonishing number of "students" who augmented their scholarship money by being "hostesses" at bars....but there were NO HOOKERS at Cubi.

Toughest part of coming out of WestPac: Convincing your wife that she needs a penicillan shot for YOUR "bladder infection".

I always liked working with the smoke guys at both NZJ and NKX. Laid back yet professional at the same time.

Got my 'Good Cookie' and got out.
Got my A&P and got a job.

Still fix'n them flying machines, but in the corporate world now.
 
I see a lot of 2 term Marines that got out. This seemed to be a trend right before my EAS in 02. I guess that if you are on this message board you can say that most moved to "bigger/better" things.
