Excellent to have your experience with us aboard The 'Hide.

Welcome. Emerald Shellback; or so we were told in that big bare patch of the North/South Pacific in October 1966. Westbound at the time, swimming underneath the Equator. Yep, we all got to kiss the Fat Baby's bellybutton, to.

So distant memories of Neptune's court ,pollywogs to shellbacks ,even we transients aka barge fodder were transformed . Little did any of us really know what awaited us ,least of all I . I soon realized perhaps my Father was correct ,dry bunks hot meals ,no more swimming in the mud .
He #6 Marine Corp. + #23 Navy . Did I listen ,NO and believe Me I thought about it more than a couple of times while lying face down in the perfumed fields . So very thankful I survived it and ever so mindful many didn't . Nearly didn't on My second sweep in Ashau valley ,vivid memories of hell on earth !. Again thankful those subsided early on ,as the human physic is a very dangerous place to reside . :eek:
