Hey Mark ,
Is an asinie any thing like a bikini? If your gonna insult someone at least spell it correctly, DORK. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> Back to the subject.
Why do "volunteers" need dues?
I 'm guessing that John,Jake,et.al. are as upset as the rest of us about USS' lack of support and that's probably the reason they do as much as they do(which I thank them for). I'm real tired of folks like USS' higher ups, wanting my money and not doing much to earn it.I'm having to work harder than ever to make it.It ain't easy for us "PRO" sailors.If I gotta shell out my hard earned cash JW and gang should get paid. I definitely would join a Multi specific group like BK was mentioning, I think that would be the way to go.
And by the way JW is a NGB ,he stole my beachwheels for that evil no good metric JC fella.

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.
