I was standing at Gun Mount while transiting through the Suez Canal and while I was patrolling I saw this ship lodged into the sand!!!!

I'm not sure what significance this structure has, but I know that it is closed to the public and is Holy Ground for something...this was in Haifa, Israel.

yeah it was great! loved it! its weird cuz they have no seriously enforced drinking laws..they drink before they go to work in the morning...they drink at their lunch break go back to work take a short break and they drink some more...so by the time they get off to go to the bar...they are already drunk lol....its wonderful!
 
My dad's side of the family is from spain.. You might have seen some of my cousins that I never met.

I'm glad to share these pics with people. Only time people get to see pics from the military is if the media takes them...why not show you guys from the inside what it looks like and what we see...DONT WORRY NONE OF THE IMAGES POSTED BY ME ARE CLASSIFIED MATERIAL! ALL IMAGES IN POSSESSION WERE SCREENED BEFORE BEING ALLOWED TO KEEP THEM!
 
Really cool!! On Friday, we had a navy guy come to my history class to talk to us. We asked loads of questions and got out of taking a quiz.
