TBT: Back in the Day
My sister was kind enough to scan an old caricature from my Navy days. The date on the drawing is Jan. 1974, so I'd only been on board the ship for about six weeks. We'd just returned from my first cruise, if memory serves.
Ed - it's good to know the drawing captured the reality. :)
Linda - I actually joked with a shipmate, on that day, about being salty. The hatch above the berthing compartment leaked a bit, when greenies washed across the fantail. I had saltwater stains on some uniforms.

You actually LOOK like a sailor in that picture.
Haha. Great! And agree, it does look like an old salt. :-)
Or is salty dig preferred? :-)
UGH! That was supposed to say Salty Dog. Good grief.
:)

Great Picture!
Thanks, TB. :)
That is pretty neat!
Thank you, ma'am.
Somebody was good! :-)
He was very good; just a 50-ish guy with a charcoal pencil & a large sketch pad.
