Rule #1: Never, ever, ever, tell a submariner that the vessel he is in is a SHIP, Nor do you ever, ever, ever tell a (Put ship class here) sailor that his vessel that is above the water is a boat. This will result in a tounge lashing lasting the rest of the evening about how easy it is to tell them apart |
If it only lasts one evening then you are very fortunate!
I have been having an ongoing 'professional' argument with my sister regarding Ships v Subamrines for 5 years now with no sign of abating  (and I'd be disappointed if it did!)

Airborne Recon in this case means Para Recce ... like in the 101 and 82d Airborne ! :;): When I was with Mech Inf, we used to say "Clank, clank, I'm A tank !" Which we would interpreted as the sound of empty beer cans & bottles rolling around inside the crew compartment ! :laugh: The Germans loved to run up to our tracks and hand the troops bottles of Beer ! Couldn't help thinking when my Father was in Europe, the Germans, 44 years previous, would have thrown flaming bottles of gas & diesel ... :;):
