You can remember the frame spacing for every standard boat but you can't remember your own home telephone number.

During a thunderstorm, you throw tabasco sauce, coffee, water, bug juice, sugar, salt, pepper, milk, pots and pans all over your kitchen to simulate being underway and yell "MESSCOOKS" aka kids and wife to come and clean it up! One more, if your kids call Dad "Captain or Skipper" and Mom "XO".  Hogger Night at the All Hands Club in Boston in the late 80's early 90's. OH what a night!  GUNS   |

If I am to be totally honest, its the other way around in my house. She is the CO, and I am apparently the lowest ranking member of the crew, who is only around for what amusement I may offer. T |

Tony, I understand why you removed that, but... I'd bet a lot of money you'll never see my kids, or wife on here.. I'd also be willing to bet there are NEVER any CG "kids" on here.. they are too busy with facebook or myspace. Just an opinion, not a complaint. Wray... |

You're going to clean the garage and you tell the wife you'll be in the paint locker.
When the grandparents arrive for Xmas, you ring 6 bells as they walk in the front door.

You might be in the Coast Guard if very light needle gunning in the bilge immediately results in Charley status being declared and a month in emergency drydock for hull repairs.
You might be in the Coast Guard if you have ever had to explain that you work with "Aids", and it has nothing to do with a deadly disease.
You might be in the Coast Guard if you ever got pulled over during a PCS move, and the cop can't write the ticket because your vehicle was bought in Alabama, has tags from Hawaii, is insured out of Texas, you are currently a resident of Mass, but have a valid but legally expired drivers license from Mississippi. The officer gets so confused, he just asks you to slow down, and then walks away shaking his head.
You might be in the Coast Guard if each one of your kids has a birth certificate from a different state.

You might be in the Coast Guard if you have ever used or know anyone who has ever used 150 two part primer as a primary base and final color for their car. (Saw that in Alaska) Every shipping Channel has aids! aids, aids, aids, aids aids, aids! yes we do play the movie "Team America, world police" too often and play the theme song from the A-team every time a buoy requires additional work over the 1MC... watcha gonna do about it it? |

You might be a Coastie if when retiring after 17 of 26 yrs. afloat you complain that you hadn't been in the REAL CG like your father the rum-chaser. (RDCM Raulin 'Red' Walker).
