More power to him!!!!

Yep, when the sh*t hits the fan, you better be ready!

I remember right after Iraq took Kuwait, I was over there on a FFG and, as I was in the shower, we get a F-4 going "feet wet" and inbound. The ships calls General Quarters, and in 45 seconds, I am. soaking wet, in my coveralls and flip flops sitting on the weapons control officers console, tracking with a "bird on the rail" waiting for the CO to give the order. Been many a time, that we go into harms way wearing a towel and flip flops...
