#1 Good morning Fred, all, though it is actually mid-afternoon here Down Under.

Now I have been enjoying the Rantburg Ramadan (TM) but was disappointed with all the Ramadan titles there was no Mother of all Ramadans (TM)

How quickly we forget!
If nobody has a recipe for that one, I can supply a nice ham bone and vegetable soup or else lovely American-style bbq pork spare ribs...

#4 Hello there trailing wife!!

I did it, I posted the hambone soup under that Ramadan link.

It really is very tasty though it takes a long time to brew.

#5 I don't know who she is, but like any true sailor (20 years nuclear subs) knows, any port in a storm!

Now hear this, man your quarters. Clean sweepdown fore and aft, the smoking lamp is out! The first section has the watch. All other sections: Liberty will commence at 1700 hours. (Somehow the image did not live up to the reality.)

#8 Or just any port anytime.

There's a sailor in every port and a little port in every sailor.

#10 Sailors don't call it '1700 hours'. Just '1700'.

(and liberty usually commences at 1600...)

BTW, last Friday was the Navy's Birthday. Liberty commenced at eight-bells.

#12 For those of you in the Army, it's 1600 hours, for the Navy, it's 8 bells, for the Air Force, it's 4:00 p. m., and for you Marines, Mickey's big hand is on the 12 and the little hand is on the 4.
