I don't have any similar stories, unless one considers rubbing elbows with a couple o' generals... a two-star and a one-star... at the bar "that kind o' story." Which I did, once.<br /><br />@ Virgil: I did, on both counts.

NAVCENT sent two LCDRs over to make sure I got the invitation. I had to tell them no. We were getting underway and a meet up with a 3 star friend of the family was out of the question. I told the LCDRs that we were going to Abu Dhabi and maybe he could meet me there....:)HMS Defianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024721130102173694noreply@blogger.com
