Thank you mama, Inspired by Mona's Mama..
 Now that I'm retiring in about a week or so.. I'm gonna thank the people in the next 8 days or so that helped me get through 23 + years of Reserve and Active Duty .. It wasn't easy < I mean I was sick with shits the day I left for boot camps.. I was also scared about starting my new life,, But one thing I knew was my beloved mama was so supportive of me. She was my heart and soul and when I finally graduated that fateful day in San Diego, The smiles and tears rolling down all our faces was something to behold.. She hugged an kissed me like no other time in my life, I was so happy that day,. She pulled me to the side and said " Son, No matter what always love your wife.. I wasn't married at the time,, But I knew what she meant, I'm so proud of you , but a true man takes care of his wife, no matter what? Let her be .. Women are moody , and at times hard to understand , but no matter what Love her and Never put your hands on her , in anger.. Just walk away, even if she is hitting you,, I hugged her and I promised her.. And like so many times when I felt so angry with my wife, Those images of my mom's face and words always calmed me down.. Its those tender moments I feel helped save my marriage many times.. Its too bad I didn't apply that to my arguments with my navy guys,, Lets just say,, the anger or punches that I may have had for my wife I unleashed on some of my Navy shipmates,, I mean this was old navy,,, We had counseling sessions,. where we take you to the empty space,.. storeroom and gave you edification's of sort,.,. and if you came out with some bumps and bruises during these heated exchanges , Its funny how you can lose you balance on a small ship and rough seas.. Hehe. But anyways, Those were tough times, and I was in the middle of it all. Its one thing during my career I never backed down, Maybe I should have, But pride m ego and craziness made me engage in battles that were senseless. But think about the times. The navy was not as strict with recruits back in the day , then they are now.. Back n the day a lot of the navy members were border line criminals and horrible beings.. I know it was hard dealing with the dirt bags that didn't or wouldn't take showers, and then you had to sleep near them. and then me.. Tell them go take a shower and when they didn't you grabbed their ass and took them,.. and then,, because he bumped his head , rough seas.. I get blamed for physical abuse,, or fighting,.. But hey.. I'm not going to say I was always politically correct or what ,but I was a passionate person that told it like it is. I mean after a long day in the Persian gulf sun , sweating and oil and gas fumes all over the air, Don't you think ,, I need to take a shower?? But I recall one of my punishments was make sure the very dirt bag I beat up,. Now I was tasked to make sure he took a shower, Yes.. Go to the stall turn on the water and hand him soap and make sure he was taking a shower,, Yes watching a grown ass man,, taking a bath.. I know it sounds gay or what, But I had too, so I would get more restriction time, , and people restriction sucks.. It means your time is no longer yours, It means you have to do your regular job and at the end of the day do others people shitty jobs,, Yup, in other words you were a slave a bitch boy or girl,, But I had too, do it, Like so many other crappy things to do I Had too, But My mama's wisdom and support help me get through my early years, in the Navy and I want to give her special thanks because I was doing alright when she was alive and well,..But when she passed after my first enlistment all the kind words of wisdom,. were no longer applicable and I became a raging drunk m alcoholic in Navy terms,. But it was way to survive the pain I was feeling with the loss of Mama.. But that another blog, But for now, I want to thank my Mentor , My favorite lady of all times, My mama Maring.. She was my angel and my greatest supporter and with her love an support she helped me get through the early years and of course the remaining years of my career and now that my career is at a end, I want to give her full credit for what I have become and what I will continue to improve as a human being.. Her love , her wisdom and her zest for life is what traits I have inherited from her and I plan to keep her wonderful spirit alive by being just like her, Loving sweet and caring, and above all honest and funny.. TO YOU MAMA MARING , I LOVE YOU AND I KNOW SOMEDAY WE WILL REUNITE AND I WILL SHARE ALL THE MANY EVENTS AND STORIES I HAVE BEEN A PART OF, AND I THANK YOU FOR WATCHING OVER ME, BECAUSE I DO FEEL YOUR SPIRIT AND LOVE EVERY TIME I DO SOMETHING SWEET AND WONDERFUL..

UNTIL MY NEXT BLOG TAKE CARE ..
