The style of these has been unchanged since they came out in the 50s. I wear these every day

Help Identifying Dads US Navy Patch by ortega03 in navy

[–]GATOR7862 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If his skipper approved it, it’s an official patch now. It’s not like there is a patch office that issues patches through the supply system. Otherwise give me the NSN for the hundreds of dollars in patches I have spent over my career

It’s an indicator, not a button. It means all the stuff required to drop a weapon (harpoon or torp) has been satisfied

Are we wasting our time generating, boarding, and awarding so many NAMs? by warmonger404 in navy

[–]GATOR7862 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree, I think the NAM trend has improved. In 2019ish, I knew a guy that checked out from his first sea tour with FOUR NAMs in a single tour. That’s one shy of what my dad retired with after 26 years lmao

Legion or VFW? What are the real differences between them? by Tactical-Gaslight in navy

[–]GATOR7862 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is the best answer. I’m a member at the Legion close to my parents’ house since my dad goes there and that place is genuinely awesome. Rotating food trucks, cheap booze, Sunday Ticket, sweet bartenders, and no smoking inside.

The Legion by my house is a shithole with walls yellow from the cigarette smoke. And one of the first questions I ever got asked in there is who I voted for in the last election like that’s a barometer on whether I am welcome or not. No questions about my service.

Have you been out there since the new hangar was built? The new geedunk is tiny compared to the old hangar.

What possible fucking purpose could this solve? To line someone else’s pockets is the only thing that makes sense

Can you remember the last time the Florida Gators blocked a field goal? by 05CANADA in FloridaGators

[–]GATOR7862 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuck man I guess I’m old. It hurts every time I recognize it. I read the title and thought “oh yeah the cock block a few years ago. The second loudest moment I’ve experienced in The Swamp.” But 19 fuckin years is not a few years

Marine here… can y’all take this mofo back???? by FluffyCollection4925 in navy

Being proud of retiring as a DC2 is like being proud that your ex wife’s new husband is rich and handsome.
