Greetings and Salutations…
I’ll have more to follow…
I’m on board BOWT and have temporary Intarwhebz and Fon (VERY sketchy connectivity on fon and NOT sure of International Fon $$$ charges….)
Pix cannot load, so You’ll have to wait
BUT
So far?
A VERY COMFORTABLE TRIP!
No chimpouts an waaaaaay chill… almost everyone is my age or a wee bit younger…
The primary thing is 70%+/- of the passengers are ALL Prior/Current service…. every one (for the most part are very polite and cool AF… I’ll go into depth later, so lemme run… I got an appointment w/a hottie for a steak dinner at the $teakhouse.
More Later

I told you all, cruises are great. I just love them, you come back slightly hung over but totally chilled out.
I’m glad BCE is having a good time.
Looks like a bunch of your fellow service members had the same idea. Get out and enjoy yourself before things go to shit completely. Have yourself a good time.
BCE,
Enjoy the time out! You are living your best life. If you need a break from your break, Tyler Olivera went to the Indian poop festival. This is U N R E A L.

Eewwwwww…. No wonder India remains a turd world shithole country.
Because it’s filled with turd world people…
Yeah, and now Tyler Olivera is catching hell and being called “racist” (oh no, the horror) for exposing their literal shittiness.
Good to hear you are having a nice time of it, and it isn’t a potential shit show in the making due to “poor demographics” of your fellow passengers. I just hope you don’t get stung with hidden bullshit charges. Enjoy the balance of the trip.
BCE, nice write-up! Totally agree, cruises are peak. Hangover + chill = perfect combo. Hope that steakhouse date goes even smoother than this comment thread! 😉 Keep living that best life, dont let the comments below (or potential hidden charges) ruin the vibe Big Ruckus D mentioned. All that service member energy looks like its paying off! Enjoy the rest, you lucky dude!
so i’m on the ferry this afternoon bringing home a new ATV on a trailer and the truck next to me had a DV plate on it with a younger looking guy driving it. i asked him what service? and he said Army. what MOS? 11c. so i says, my secondary was 11c.. what unit? 3rd ID and 101st. really? what brigade? 3rd. WHAT? another fucking Rakkasan lives on my island! what part of the island do you live? north end. same here. the guys name is Ben but that’s as far as it got before we landed and had to roll off.. so i have a 101st bro right near me. too cool.
smol world indeed.
Rakkasan my Brother from Another!!! Ne Desit Virtus!!! Nice to know (once you vett him) that you have a fellow MortarMaggot to watch your six.
The funny thing was the 3ID Kid?
There was this dreadlocked Blaq guy, gold grillz, dredz, the whole nine-nigger-yards… when he turned around, his sling bag (like I carried too) had his 3ID patch and his Nametape… I called out to him and he was initially sus as “Giant whytedood is calling me out?”
He lowered his shades, and looked at me hard…
Without saying a word, I rolled up my left sleeve to expose my Torri Tat on my shooulder, (recently re-colored as it’d gotten mighty faded) and he went from all suspicious to a fucking huge ass water-eatin’ fried chikin’ grin and came over, gave me the dap, and a hug and said “You motherfuckin’ Rakkasan motherfuckers and yo’ toriis!” and we both laughed our balls off on that one (3rd BDE during the whole GWOT were known for spray painting the torii EVERYWHERE we were… like a dog marking it’s territorii LOL)…. fucking good times man… more in the upcoming debrief…
Hes not wrong, You People would paint that thing on a cat if it stood still long enough. Haha.
Steak dinner? Tell us more … I mean, you mentioned it. And you used the word “hottie” so …
“Mightily relaxed” Bet he got laid. If so, RIGHT ON BRO!
Hey man… I never said anything about hawt Krainians and Blow… I have NO IDEA of what you speak of…
Jes’ (not) Sayin’
Thought you Oirish were only rated 5 min for solar ray exposure. What sunscreen do you guys use, drywall putty?
Good call on avoiding the Petrie Jacuzzi. What a pity nobody sneakily dropped in an open bottle of sud concentrate. Firefighting foam is amazing in fountains….in warm water/pee it would probably be even more powerful. Hotel shampoo or purloined housekeeping detergent might work. Only one way to find out.
Small wedgeable places are a Good Idea at sea. When the ship gets to vigorous rolling, you’ll appreciate a place to jam into where you don’t exhaust yourself hanging on.
Moonless nights with rain, wind and chop are best for illicit dumping overboard of noxious garbage. Just an old sailor’s hint.
Glad you had fun and got back safe & sane.
