Alan, I missed that one all together. Midpack, you also would have an interesting story to share about how you managed to RE at such a young age. I know I would like to hear it and I think others would too. Looking forward to hearing from you.

But chinaco said he'd been busting a hump for 35 years which to me means he started his career when he was 0 years old. The mystery deepens...

Chinaco you missed your chance. I thought you would say "I put it all on red 24" and never looked back.

I considered one but was afraid it would make the time go slower. Also, I would have been embarrassed if anyone saw it.

When I was in the Navy, people had "short timer chains", which were made from the beaded chains that held your dog tags. They would snip one "bead" off every day. (Of course, some stole the chains from the EAB manifold caps instead. A definite no-no on a sub).
This guy has "two days and a wakeup" left.
