Where were you and what were you doing when you were 21 years old?

Sounds fun. What ships?

 

  Amphibs.

Now I find that interesting.  My husband's cousin was in the Navy and stationed (if that is the Navy term) up in the Florida panhandle and we used to sit on the beach and watch those hovercrafts zooming around out in the Gulf.  It was a new thing back then...probably in the 80s.

 

  Yes, “stationed in” is one of the correct terms for what you’re referencing. 

  Even though hovercraft were being used during my years in the Marine Corps, I personally never served on one. 

(hovercrafts hovercraft)
Just like the word “aircraft”, it’s a singular plural.

Hummm.  Looks like Sam and I made the same mistake.  Did you shoot him a correction?

Lol, good one.  

I do, of course, want to be fair. I wasn’t aware of Sam nor of his online piece; if it’s where you gleaned your information, that’s understandable as to why you went with it. I submit, however, that Sam is incorrect also in referring to them with an s on the end of the word, based on the example I cited with the word aircraft.

HEY WAIT!! Good times as far as stealing his money. Not the drug dealer part.

I hope you found another occupation quickly.  Glad you are still with us.  :)

I think you found a positive path though.  The older we get the smarter and wiser.  :)

That sounds like fun.

It was fun and rewarding. Because I drove the train the miners gave me food from their lunch so that I would give them a spot on the train for the 4 mile ride back to the cage at the end of the day (elevator). Cheers and happy weekend!

If that's you in the  middle of the photo, that's some hair style you have there.  ;)

My hair style from 81 to 87 was as close to this guys if anything. Dude walks in the class and goes ..Whooooosh!! with his fingers to my hair once. This post was edited by CosmicWunderkind at June 5, 2022 5:56 PM MDT
