I was chosen to be watch captain and navigator because a friend entered one of the Golden Gate races series that occurs under the Golden Gate bridge and the City Front. The wind was blowing at 30 knots and there were 6 foot seas blowing under the bridge, That is a LOT since with an outgoing tide the front side of the waves break about half of the time. Beating into it for the south GG buoy on a tack the masthead halyard for the jib jumped the pulley and locked the jib in place so that we couldn't change to a Spinnaker when we rounded the buoy. Everyone was so frightened of the conditions that they didn't know what to do so I went forward and climbed the mast and slipped it back on just in time to round the buoy and set the spinnaker. After the Race committee watched me do that everyone at >the GGYC wanted me for crew. > The King's Cup Regatta is the largest "boat Race" in Asia with some 140 yachts entered. https://insailing.com/event/kings-cup-regatta-2 >What difficult job did you do? Tail a wench? Terribly difficult job. These days they wouldn't need you because wenches are self tailing. Sometimes your bullshit just gets too deep. NO Air Force personnel EVER won any award in inter-military service shooting competition. Very, very rarely an Army competitor does well. The Marines can shoot the spots off of a leopard at 1,000 yards wuth a rifle on open sighte and put EVERYTHING in the X ring at 100 yards with a pistol. So just stop with your attempt to impress people with your vast knowledge of absolutely nothing. First it was that you were a crew chief on a bomber and then after I pointed out that it was nothing more than shuffling paperwork on a never active aircraft, you tell us that you were in Vietnam. The ONLY way that you were in Vietnam is if you were transfered to the Tactical Air Command. And the Strategic Air Command (SAC) NEVER transfers compentent people. You retired at E6 meaning you were two steps below topping out. >There was a reason you weren't promoted. > Do you mean my Air force service? If so I managed welding and machine shops and was a U.S. government certified welder on aluminum, stainless and carbon steel :-) If my subsequent civilian jobs I retired as the manager of a company who's largest contract was billing $1,000,000 a month. >So stop pushing all of this moronic bullshit trying to prove to us what a great guy you are. Stop bullshitting and you'll discover that people might even like you for what you are. A Tommy, I'm not proving what a great guy I am Demonstrating what a lying piece of shit you are.
