I saw some crazy shit when I was on the Kennedy, but no greased pigs. That's a new one for me! -------------------------------------------- Floridian by birth, Seminole by the grace of God | |||

Hehehe That was awesome. The SAR winnabago left a parting gift. That Helo had to be from a visiting squadron cause no one else was launching until they cuaght those pigs "Blessed is he who when facing his own demise, thinks only of his front sight.” Malo periculosam, libertatem quam quietam servitutem Montani Semper Liberi | |||

So it's true! I heard about that when I was sentenced to the east coast in '89, but thought it was just a sea story from the Chief's Mess. "The Truth, when first uttered, is always considered heresy." | |||

lol, we used to dip a cats paws in paint and turn 'em loose on other Coast Guard ships that were tied up along our pier.... and everyone used to paint over other ships name and re-name the ship...ie the "Tampa" became the Tampax....

. As I recall, the greased pigs were painted red, white, and blue because they were delivered by a helo from the USS America. The USS Kennedy was either replacing, or being replaced by the USS America on patrol in the Mediterranean. I never heard if the USS Kennedy ever returned the favor, but if they did I'm sure the greased pigs would have been painted blond, wearing red lipstick, and a white dress like the one Marilyn Monroe wore in the movie Seven Year Itch!  . | |||

I was in that battle group, the JFK was replacing the America. I don't believe the favor was ever returned. __________________________________ NRA Benefactor I lost all my weapons in a boating, umm, accident. http://www.aufamily.com/forums/ | |||
