Mr. Mister - Kyrie

I've been to three different Australian ports and never experienced bloody knuckles or bloody hangovers. I know there's gotta be one in every crowd, but I was always the designated "Sober" guy that made sure "No Sailor Was Left Behind". I blame it on my personal beliefs and the fact that I don't drink alcohol, ever! Even as Liberty rules got more strict, everyone wanted me to be in their group, because on the Abe Lincoln, Nimitz, and New Orleans liberty rules required one person to be sober in groups not more than 3 or 4 Sailors.

I do recall my first port visit to Perth, which included an Adopt A Sailor program through MWR. Locals could sponsor an USS Arkansas Sailor for the day and take them out and show them the sights. So as I stood the POOW, watching these local, very attractive Australian ladies coming down the pier, the thought crossed my mind,
Adopt-a-Sailor, YA RIGHT!
"What you talking about, Willis?" I ain't no dummy!

Don't recall bloody knuckles with the Australian Navy, a bloody hangover perhaps :)

Thank you so much for sharing.
