  1. Sorry I missed Tuesday, was doing hurricane preps with the fleet and then moving to an alternative place to live for a week. Didn't see anything on the calendar though. Are we in hiatus?

  9. Well rats, here I am available after a two week hiatus. However, I would never try anything without fearless leader and the divine empress, for I know that where such pride and presumption walks, shame and loss follow close behind!!! Best wishes on your re-creative or othewise activities!!!

    I'm a maybe as well...still on travel. In MO at my mum's. After this I'll be home the rest of the summer though (Unless the Navy sends me somewhere). Will update on Tuesday once I know what the dinner plans are.

    I'm out again this week--blame the Navy. Should be back next week though.

    I'm out this this week--Navy business
  15. I think i have a 16 and an 80. I don't play the 80 because I've forgotten how But will endeavor to lvl up the 16 (same class so eventually I'll remember how to play the other guy).
  16. I could do Thursday. I was happy to finally get past Torque for the first time. I'm still having too much down time on my attacks from chasing bosses and not standing in fire and not attacking while not standing in fire, etc. I haven't really learned the patterns yet to keep the melee damage up more. The verbal cues were helpful and you guys gave me the easy jobs, for which I am grateful. I was a distant 4th in our DPS. If you have to replace me to finish anything--that is entirely ok--all about the team in my book. Gear is good (though I may switch some augments to drop alacrity since it's below the cool-kid threshold and add more crit), rotation is good, latency, button pushing and fight knowledge is lacking. Really appreciate the patience and teaching though from all you vets. I think that's how we deepen the bench of folks who want to try harder stuff.

    NVM, I think I figured out which button to click to indicate 'going'

  20. Congratulations on completing another trip around the sun!

      Really sucks when your bags make it before you do, and they secure them in the back, and then no one can find the person with a key..... glad you got back and reunited with your bags!

  22. Last brief of the trip soon, and then off to the airport! Work-induced LOA soon drawing to an end!

      More cancelled flights and rebooking on other airlines. It would be cheaper at this point if they would just get me a rental car, but that’s not possible....need coffee!!!

      update: coffee achieved, rebooked on another airline but checked bag has been sent walkabout by AA.  No idea when/if it will return. Hopefully it will have some interesting stories when we are reunited!

      Looking forward to hearing them. Congrats on coffee! Hopefully a good brew. 

  23. As a youngster on Memorial Day we would go to the local cemeteries and decorate the graves of those who in Mr. Lincoln's words had paid 'the last full measure of devotion.'  For those of us in the Navy though the sentiment may be similar we have few geographic places to go to in order to honor the dead.  A ship goes down in combat at sea and the grave is at best marked by a lat/long mark on a chart.  So, it is left to the imagination, for the most part, to render honors.

     

    This year I'm remembering in particular a chaplain who remained with the dying and wounded while his ship sank.  The ship, USS Cumberland was lost not far from where I work in Norfolk.  Chaplain John Lenhart was the first Navy Chaplain killed in action.  For the historically curious, his story may be found here: http://archives.gcah.org/handle/10516/5745

     

    "WE therefore commit his body to the deep, to be turned into corruption, looking for the resurrection of the body (when the sea shall give up her dead,) and the life of the world to come, through our Lord Jesus Christ; who at his coming shall change our vile body, that it may be like his glorious body, according to the mighty working whereby he is able to subdue all things unto himself. " BCP 1789.
