Yeah... I've always wanted to be in the Navy because my dad used to tell me he'd never be proud of me until I gaduated from Anapolis with high honors and went on to fight for our country... ahem ... anyway...
Yeah, the same thing hit me the first time I heard of this club. I believe it's named after him. It's a club with different rooms each featuring a different style of music... there are actually only two... but one is more industrial stuff and the other is more goth-pop. Dressing for it is always a blast because you get all done up crazy as hell! I can't wait
i usually spend xmas in vegas and every year the weather is different = last year it was colder than london and we had snow on the ground THAT STAYED...year before it was HOT
at least IF i do relocate to sweden i'll know what to expect!
Indeed. Our base is open year around, and we are currently in our winter season. NSF does maintain a civilain presence here all year long. We are one of many private contractors down here. There is no longer military presence on the base during the winter. The only thing they do for us is Air Support and Ice clearing for our re-supply vessel. The New Zealanders are just up the road by about 2 miles, and they also maintain a presence year round. The all the other countries are too far away to maintain anything more than email contact with. South Pole base actually is year long as well.
The Kiwis come over rather frequently, and we go over there frequently as well. This particular group compared to last years is much more fun. I usually end up over there every Friday for darts against them, South Pole Station, and sometimes the Aussies join in as well. I am to attend dinner there tomorrow night with the firehouse and their girlfriends. I am looking forward to it actually. Because there are only 10 Kiwi's, their food is much better.
when i was in BMT for the air force, my flight's male TI Assistant always said that quote to us. he wanted to make us "fierce female warriors for the greatest military and country in the world." what a dork...
