Kamala wanted me to write something non-political. For those who don't know me, I'm retired from 5th SF in the Army. Age 48 (but looking 58).
It might be cool to have a dive trip that focus' on military getting together. Of course, others could come, but on a space A or family basis. Maybe on a special day like Veterans Day in November.
I have some time share down in Allegro and Occidental Cozumel. The several boats treat you excellent and are right there on the huge resort. It's all inclusive. Last time I went down, it cost $450 for the week (all-inclusive...food, booze, snacks, room, beach toys) and the only extra cost is $300 for 10 dives (or $32 each if paid individually. I'm told I can get up to 5 rooms. I'll bet they'd do more, though. You have to come up with airlines. Transfers are approximately $10 each way per person by cab/van.
The only other helpful news....if you are like me and have been suffering from military back pain for years, I finally found some chemical help. Neuronton. For some reason, it only works on the pain in the spine. But that's a major. I can now sit in the dentist chair for an hour without squirming. Hope that helps you back sufferers.
Good luck to you active duty guys. Hopefully somebody will come up with an excellarated solution soon.
And give thanks for the families. I remember mine enduring my days. Love and blessings to all of them.

Jim,
I think it would be a great idea but I will be tied up until maybe Memorial Day.

Keep me on your list - if the Army doesn't mind associating with the Navy.Kamala wanted me to write something non-political. For those who don't know me, I'm retired from 5th SF in the Army. Age 48 (but looking 58).
It might be cool to have a dive trip that focus' on military getting together.
btw, you're just a pup. I am 58, look it, and have earned every wrinkle and gray hair... hooya.
No aquarium, no tank in a marine land, however spacious it may be, can begin to duplicate the conditions of the sea. And no dolphin who inhabits one of those aquariums or one of those marine lands can be considered normal.
