I'm back, I am sure you are all excited.

I gotta tell you, you are not who I thought you were. Your willingness to make fun of yourself, the self deprication and what not, I just did not expect it from the very limited interaction I have had with you. Well played, Chief.

LOL, I will take that as a compliment? I am a bit different at work, great acting job, complete dickhead typical Chief at work, uber annoying obsessive compulsive dork at home. You should see when I go to the MCRD at Parris Island. The recruits always call me "Sir" because of my uniform. One time I stopped and calmly talked to one of them. I told him there is a far worse thing than a "sir" and that is a Chief and that if he is lucky, this will be the only time he ever has to talk to one. I love it, I am sure I changed his outlook on Chiefs forever.
For those that are confused about the Chief references, it is a rank that is unique to the Navy and mildly emulated in the Coast Guard. It is an E7, and we only go to E9 in the enlisted world. We go through a VERY selective process to get promoted and there is a huge initiation and whatnot. Watch any Navy Submarine movie, and you will see the Chief of the Boat. He is always some gnarly old badass. Salty, as we in the business like to say. For those that have met me in person, it is hard to picture me like that, but I assure you, I am damn good at it and hope put on E8 with less than 13 yrs in.

sorry chris, but i was laughing at your stoned arse for at least 3 or 4 minutes just now... awesome pic.

I am glad I could help you laugh.
