    BB> I know, if the Navy wanted you to have a wife they would have issued   
    BB> you one. :)  But the real world proves that once the guy gets around   
    BB> 25 or so he does marry, then a family, then the problems with long   
    BB> tours, often leading to divorce or whatever.   
      
    RW> Can see that, those domestically based can enjoy family   
    RW> life.  WE base 'em at sea when there's an anticipated need   
    RW> in the short term I think is what's seen here, even if we   
    RW> deliver 'em by plane or faster transport vessel   
      
   From what I see, and San Diego is a Navy town, it seems the tours at sea are   
   getting longer and longer and with shorter intervals between them.  In other   
   words, the ships aren't in port as long as they used to be.  Now that the Navy   
   is cutting back i wonder what impact that will have in re to ships at sea,   
   longer or shorter times?

    BB> Where is Bob?  He used to post in Memories now and again.  Did he   
    BB> die?   
      
    RW> His node's down, i'm hoping he'll come back again, he wont'   
    RW> be continuous mail as he'll be sharing duties voice and fido system on   
    RW> one phone line, but first he's hoping when he   
    RW> catches up a little bit he'll get another ups and some other hardware   
    RW> he wants.   
    RW>  I've still got his passwords in place   
    RW> and all here since I was his most recent feed.  Reminds me I need to   
    RW> give him a buzz this weekend.   
      
      
   Ok.  I remember him saying he had to share a phone line. :)   Jeeze, those were   
   the days ...
