Try FAIRRECONRON TWO. Or NAMTRAGRUDET 1008. Of course, you always have CINCUSNAVEUR and CINCSUBLANTFLEET and I could go on and on forever. We loves the acronyms, yes we do.
amych, I'd forgotten wing weenies! To be honest, there's always more than one nickname for any service, and it often varies from service to service. Even within the Navy, we have our different branches. And then each rate has it's own nicknames. I was a "tweet" or "twidget." Jet engine mechs were "suck and blows," machinist's mates were "metal benders" or "pipe fitters," electrician's mates were "wire chasers." We could never call anything by it's real name. And it wasn't something you learned overnight, either.
erika, it's coconut *chip,* meaning coconut ice cream with gigantic chocolate hunks in it. Decadent.

Like so: [link] .
My first steady boyfriend was Navy, my Hubby was raised Navy and served Coast Guard. So they taught me about picosts.
And this, I think accurately describes the wonder and glory that are the chips themselves in all the Graeter's chip flavors: [link] .

Um, yeah. Anyway - Sail, those are some good ones and the scary part is that I can still figure most of that out. But I was never able to look at someone's stars and bars and figure out rankings.
Story headline from my local paper:
Early Antlerless Youth Hunt Set
Most youth are antlerless. Why are they being hunted?
And who hunts the horny youth?
Do they do that on time?
Or do I have that wrong? Maybe it's the hunters of youth that are antlerless...
All in all a weird headline.
surely there's good ice cream in California.
not really. there is some really good stuff at the ferry building, but th ebest ice cream comes from places where it gets cold in the winter.
and now you have made me crave the rich chocloate icecream from Dr. Mike's. 2 stores in CT. and a rich , dark deep chocolate. That was my everyday ice cream. But the fresh peach in the summer.... oh my. Summer lines at night were about an hour long. and no one ever left. and there were two or three other really good places with in 3 - 5 miles.
