Can you say, "Hot Rod Lincoln"? Congrats on the promotion. You're now at the level that serves as commanding officer of most Navy ships (except carriers and other "big" boats.)

Are you familiar with the iboats tradition that when you make Commander you buy all the Admirals a drink? :)

Interesting! Good for him! And where might that be geographically? My wife, & I, like to go to karaoke weekly at a local tavern, (we're like an ancient version of Donnie, & Marie, a little country, & a little rock & roll,,,lol) and we have a friend Paul, who's a big guy with a deep voice, that sings "Hot Rod Lincoln" pretty good on a regular basis, it never fails to entertain us, or whoever is there for the day :D

Hey ST, Sir?, Nah, just don't call me late for dinner,,,lol
