Indeed. I have a master diver cert from YMCA, and dive master from NAUI, which I'm pretty sure would qualify me to bring him coffee.

They had a semi-documentary on TV about 3 weeks ago about him. If it was even close, he had one hell of a time staying in after the accident.

Hell, I'm an instructor. That qualifies me to pour it, but not be in his presence to serve it. There are far better men out there for that purpose. >Dennis >  Signaturedillon JAFO On Tue, 25 Jul 2006 22:31:38 -0500, "Dennis \(Icarus\)" <nojunkmail@ever.invalid> wrote: >http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/D/DEATHS?SITE=WSAW&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT > >A hero, even though he did not die young 200 ft beneath the waves. >http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0203019/quotes > >Dennis Here's a link to some of his bio.

But there were a couple of seaman boats with four or five red ones. They'd been up and down the latter a couple of times. > > Here's a link to some of his bio. MCPO Boats.

In the Navy, gold service stripes are issued to those free of disciplinary action, and red if they've had a disciplinary infraction. Which of course means that in the Marines, they only have red hash marks. -hh > Which of course means that in the Marines, they only have red hash > marks.

IIRC in the Army they only had the gold hash marks. I served honorably as a Army miliary dependent. > Which of course means that in the Marines, they only have red hash > marks. :-) Dennis > > > > > Here's a link to some of his bio. MCPO Boats.

Basically, it means you got caught... <evil-grin> You get gold hash marks if you manage 12 years of good conduct... I'm not exactly sure of the rules concerning what happens if you get caught doing something after already having 12 years of good conduct... I had always assumed that it meant you had to go back to red ones, but I heard that there are certain cases where this might not necessarily be correct... > What are the significance of red hash marks?

Yeah, figgered it was something to do with the scrambled egg. LD. > Yeah, figgered it was something to do with the scrambled egg. No, scrambled eggs are what the upper level officers have on their caps... http://www.bancroftcaps.com/navydress.html The Captains and Commanders have a single row of oak leaf clusters (aka scrambled eggs), the Admirals have a double row... >> Yeah, figgered it was something to do with the scrambled egg. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >The Captains and Commanders have a single row of oak leaf clusters >(aka scrambled eggs), the Admirals have a double row... In the AF it's called "donner & blitzen". Signaturedillon How much power does it take to run a server farm?

So what do they call it in the military? > What are the significance of red hash marks? You get one hash mark per four years of service. They are typically red. If you have 12 consecutive years of service without disciplinary action, you wear gold hash marks. Lots of red hashmarks would indicate someone who got caught doing something they shouldn't have been. > > What are the significance of red hash marks? > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Lots of red hashmarks would indicate someone who got caught doing > something they shouldn't have been. Ahh..I see - thanks! Dennis |
