where to beach dives in Broward?

[Scuba_Jenny]

10 AM is plenty late for me... I was thinking closer to 8:30.. compromise for somewhere in the middle? Off Sunrise?

 

[DebbyDiver]

Off Sunrise, yes. maybe 9:30 to keep us out of the rush hour traffic? Also I told some Kayuba folks about it.

Cool Beans..
I'm gonna have to split right afterwards. M&D in town and I'm sure they will be anxious for ME to finish cleaning the house...I need a vaccum with a 18" suction....

No sweat because I have to go to UnderSeas Sports for fills and hopefully to pick up my Foldspear then I have to get my oil changed in the Adventuremobile. Just hoping for a calm day; if it isn't calm I'm not bringing the yak out. Just sayin'.

Well ladies,
I would love to go,
but....
I will be on the left coast until sometime Friday, and then driving home....
Unless I get lost in a NCO Club with a bunch of Coasties with very low moral character, in which case I will be driving home on Saturday.
I would love to yak it this weekend, but the new truck is not set up just right for that just yet.
I am planning to beach it with BruceT at least.

And if it's bumpy out, I can't go drinking..
chug- dare I ask what's a NCO?

Hey chug, what did you have in mind? Good for Saturday morning. Could bring the spear and hope for some dinner. Also, my replacement phone should be here today, so my number will be back to good. Had to fuss with at&t for an hour about my phone before they agreed to send me a new one.

****************************************************************

Rank/Rate

There are three general categories of rank/rate (Note: The Navy/Coast Guard calls it "rate," the other services refer to it as "rank"): Enlisted personnel, Warrant Officers, and Commissioned Officers.

Enlisted personnel. Enlisted members are the "backbone" of the military. They perform the primary jobs that need to be done. Enlisted members are "specialists." They are trained to perform specific specialties in the military. As enlisted personnel progress up the ranks (there are nine enlisted ranks), they assume more responsibility, and provide direct supervision to their subordinates.

Enlisted personnel in certain grades have special status. In the Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps, this status is known as "Noncommissioned Officer status, or "NCO." In the Navy and Coast Guard, such enlisted are known as "Petty Officers." In the Marine Corps, NCO status begins at the grade of E-4 (Corporal).

In the Army and Air Force, enlisted personnel in the grades of E-5 through E-9 are NCOs. However, some Army E-4s are laterally promoted to "corporal," and are considered NCOs.

Also in the Army and Air Force, personnel in the grades of E-7 to E-9 are known as "Senior NCOs."

In the Marine Corps, those in the grades of E-6 through E-9 are known as "Staff NCOs."

In the Navy/Coast Guard, Petty Officers are those in the grades of E-4 through E-9. Those in the grades of E-7 to E-9 are known as "Chief Petty Officers."

To join the military today, and become an enlisted member, requires a high school diploma (although a very few -- less than 10 percent each year, are accepted with "alternative credentials," such as a GED). However, a majority of enlisted members on active duty today have some college. Many have associates and bachelor degrees. Some even have higher-level degrees, such as masters and doctorates.

Warrant Officers. Warrant Officers are very highly-trained specialists. This is where they differ from commissioned officers. Unlike commissioned officers, warrant officers remain in their primary specialty to provide specialized knowledge, instruction, and leadership to enlisted members and commissioned officers alike.

Chug,

I (I'm sure others will also agree) don't feel like you tried hard enough bringing your usually witty closure to your post as you normally do. We've come to expect more from you.
