God bless my family when I am away,
Leave the lights on I'll return from harms way,
Grant me courage and strength to protect others each day,
So they live in peace without worry, fear or dismay,
Bless those who have fallen given their life for another
May their spirit live on from then and forever,
Return me home to my family at the end of each night,
May I pass through the door before the morning's first light,
Shall I give my life for another before the dawn breaks today,
God bless my family when I am away.....
A man walked into a pet store and was looking at the animals on display.
While
he was there, a First Class Petty Officer from the local Navy base
walked in and said to the shopkeeper, "I'll take a maintenance monkey,
please."
The man nodded, went to a cage at the side of the store
and took out a monkey. He put a collar and leash on the animal and
handed it the PO1, saying, "That'll be $5,000." The PO1 paid and left
with the monkey.
Surprised, the man went to the shopkeeper and
said, "That was a very expensive monkey. Most of them are only a few
hundred dollars. Why did that one cost so much?"
The shopkeeper
answered, "Ah, that's a maintenance monkey. He can run diagnostics on
all radars/weapons systems, score 95 on the ASVAB test, operate all
forms of test equipment, perform the duties of any Maintenance Man qualified person with no back talk or complaints. It's well worth the money.
The man spotted a monkey in another cage. "That one's even more expensive, $10,000! What does it do?"
"Oh, that one is a Workcenter
Supervisor monkey! It can instruct at all levels of maintenance,
supervise maintenance on the unit, intermediate, and depot level, knows
all OPNAV instructions, utilizes ORM, and even conducts Divisional
Training. A very useful monkey indeed," replied the shopkeeper.
The
man looked around a little longer and found a third monkey in a cage.
The price tag read, "$50,000." The shocked tourist exclaimed, "That one
costs more than all the others put together! What in the world does it
do?"
"Well, I've never actually seen him do anything but drink beer and play with his pecker, but his papers say he's E.O.D."
I absolutely love this...
I really have no blogging experience, so I guess this is just a test...a test to see if anyone even looks and sees that I have posted one. It isn't to see anything other than that and from the esult of my "test"...well...that will determine whether or not I do more. To my friends and family, if you take a look, let me know something? Plz? To everyone else, ditto...It will not go unnoticed...
