I was Navy; we went on a Med run while I was stationed on the east coast, and I got up to Adak while stationed out west, but always kept north of the line.

No, they're busy pushing their mops! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Dad was a Navy man, this would have started a fight <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Dan So was mine. On a destroyer escort. Atlantic convoy duty, D Day, the Pacific campaign...the ship was bombed several times, but he lived through it.

My Dad served in the South Pacific as well. He had a framed document with Neptune on it, so I would assume it was a "Sons of Neptune". I vaguely remember a discussion we had about it sometime after I returned from VietNam. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I would guess that a "sour dough" is a Canadian who crosses the border, as I know that Chris has done. Keep in mind that he lives in "the Great White North"! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

do they call it the great white north b/c of the snow, or b/c it's so cold nothing green will grow?

i don't mind the cold, but that goes beyond cold up there. i think they send astronauts up there to train for life on the moon.

I suppose it's the next best thing! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> Seriously, I believe that's why the rate of alcoholism is so high - folks don't want to go out in the cold so they stay indoors and drink. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
