    Kind of poignant considering what's happening to their countrymen back home.

    Sometimes the military emphasis on neatness and uniformity seems extreme, but in difficult situations, the discipline pays off.

    "In the navy"..... by Village People. I can hear the MUSIC now. 07.03 in the morning with my first coffee.
    What a nice documentary you made with these images.

    Happy weekend!

    I had the same thought as Dina. How DOES each sailor know which bag is his? ;)
