Well I finally got a huge load off my shoulders.

I am now officially licensed and own the business name Mr. Slick`s Detailing.

I didn`t want to get around to doing this because there`s so much involved. But it`s done.

So much to do, so much money to be made.

Not that anybody would really want to go back to those bad ol` days before anybody seemed to know better ;)

(And when the people who did know better were often ridiculed for having common sense.)
 
It was interesting that the sailor on the USS Shiloh that was reported to have been thought lost overboard was found hiding on the ship for 7 days. One would think he would be discharged from the Navy. I am sure someone will invent some conspiracy.

The Navy has some very young people operating some immense weapons of war. Years ago, I had to opportunity to go on a dependent`s day cruise on the USS Coral Sea. One of the last remaining WWII era carriers. It was eye opening who is manning these ships..many young just out of high school people. I have been following the USS Halsey, a guided missile destroyer, and see no difference these days.

Of course, it makes sense since they can mostly be educated and molded just all services rely on.

It was a great experience with aircraft launches on deck, touch and go`s, and some bombing nearby. I was surprised they did this while civilians were on the carrier deck.
 
Bunky- Yes indeed! Talking with some WWII vets who operated Serious Hardware at 17-18 just blew me away...they dropped out of HS and shortly thereafter were running "dangerous stuff that kids shouldn`t be trusted around" (to hear some people talk). They did fine and developed a "life is serious, take it seriously" mindset.
 
I spent 2 years as a company commander and I saw some of the brightest and some of the dumbest of America`s Finest. The bright ones were always the most trouble. They thought they were smarter than the guys in command. There were always plenty of rocks to paint to prove to the smart ones that they were not all that smart.
