My grandmother had 5 stars in her window. I think most were navy. One made a career out of it, retired a master mechanic. Old school navy tattoos on his Popeye arms. The bleedy kind.

Galveston was a tourist mecca before the "Free State of Galveston" ended in the 50's.

well, to move a ship from houston to galveston isn't much of a move.QillerDaemon wrote: ↑Tue Jun 04, 2019 12:31 am I've been reading up more about the move, and the suggestion is to Galveston somewhere, which has become something of a tourist mecca.

Young woman, maybe a 5-6/10 anywhere else, is an 8-9 on a military base. Guys hitting on them 24/7. Divorced or cheating girlfriend wants her to go to the e-club while the men are deployed... misery loves company.
