12/13/09 - To All: 

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

That's right, I said it, 

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

To hell with HAPPY HOLIDAYS! I am sick and tired of all the P.C. jargon in America these days. I'll tell you right now, I don't believe in God or Jesus, but I still say MERRY CHRISTMAS because that's how it's been done my whole life, and will continue to be done. If your of a certain religion that celebrates one of the many other names it's called, and don't like my Merry Christmas, then you make up your own web site and post what ever greetings you wish. But I refuse to be harnessed into the main stream thinking of Political Correctness. This is AMERICA, and so far we still have Free Speech, I think. Unless Obama has passed another stupid bill. For all the P.C. people - KISS MY (you know what) and have a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR, whether you like it or not.  And to all who decorate you houses with Christmas stuff BEFORE December, knock it off! :)

Which brings me to a whole other point to cripe about. DEATH TO WAL-MART, not the people, just the company that has got us stuck in a circle leading to our own demise. It started off so simple: Customer want lower prices, so we'll buy cheap stuff from China and other 3rd world countries, we'll save millions, customers will eat it up. And so we did.. Now other company's have to compete, and do the same. And that leads to American manufacturers needing to compete with the cheap imports, and start sending jobs overseas or south of the border. And guess what that leads to? Loss of jobs, which leads to our people can't afford American goods, so they buy the cheap imports, thus supporting the whole dang process that we are now stuck in. How do you get out of this? Well, it's simple, you borrow money from the 1 country that's now getting all your money, and loan it right back to your people and companies, who gave it all to China!..

WE ARE DOOMED!

P.S. Don't' even get me started on Unions!! Merry Christmas, again. :)

08/18/09 - For all you on Facebook, there is a USS Norton Sound(AVM-1) group.

02/26/09 - Check out the 1983 South of the Border Cruise book link. I've been wanting to scan this book for years, but it always seemed like it would take too long, and it did...I remove the "History" and "CO/XO" web pages because all that came from the cruise book.

01/17/09 - Hello to all. Hope this New Year is good to you, and you stay off the unemployment line.

I still need pictures of the Commanding Officers - If you have a photo of any of the CO's please send them in. Check the "Captains" page, if I don't have a link for the CO then I need a photo, Thanks for your help.
