| #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. |

| #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. |

| #8 Or just any port anytime. There's a sailor in every port and a little port in every sailor. |

#7  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.) |

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

| #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... |
