After my first run ashore, with my sub in one hand and ***, I knew I had made the right choice by going to sea.

Re: The Middle East.
I have seen the place where my wife went to school, reminds me of a prison I once saw.
Once inside for the day there was no way you were going anywhere until the bell rang for the end of the day.
The floor in the 'praying room' had I swear had holes from all the knees.
Happy daze John in Oz.
