I represent your tax dollars at leisure, my friend. 

Seriously, have you ever been to Brunswick? P-3's are the biggest scam in the Navy. The only reason we have a backlog in the shop is because the Marines at Newburgh blew up their IFF test bench.

[MendoDave]

Yea i've been in there before. One of the VR squadrons are there. VR 48 or something. I was at 54 & 55. That P3 stuff seems boring to me.

Molesworth, huh? When?

[DRKWNG]

Molesworth, huh? When?

Got there in March of 2000 and left March 2003.  I assume you spent some time around there too?

MSG Det  Moscow USSR and Bonn FRG

Moscow must have been a great place to work MSG!!  Please tell me you were single then.

Moscow must have been a great place to work MSG!!  Please tell me you were single then. 

I loved Moscow.  It was still the USSR so we were not allowed to have any social contact with the Soviets.   However, there wasn't a shortage of single women that loved a guy in Dress Blues.    Most of the Embassy employees had nannies (typically US college students taking a year off) and then there were the Brits, the Aussies, the Kiwis, etc. 

I was single.  One of the requirements of MSG is that Sgts. (E-5) and below must be unmarried.   Most Dets only have one SNCO (there are a few with 2) so that means about 99% of MSGs are single.

[DRKWNG]

Good life that is.  I hung out with quite a few MSG guys when I was deployed with SOCEUR down in many African countries.  Usually had the best stocked bar in the country.
