Hello, esteemed sailors. I am pleased to report that I was promoted to Navy Chief Petty Officer. Since I found out, the boat has been parked and I have been busy doing Navy things night and day.
I found out yesterday, I have been selected to crew on the USS Constiution 26-31 Aug. The last day we get to take her for a sail. I will take pictures and post the adventure when I get back. After 15 Sept, I will be back to the Forum.

I guess I need to learn a few shanties.

Tom.

Congrats and thanks for your service to the country.

Look forward to pictures, that is a beautiful boat. Lots of strings to figure out though.
