Boson Mate's

[roundgunner]

This goes out to all my Boson Mate friends.

We have a new boson striker in the family, shown here, working on her line handling PQS on the family destroyer. She has the enthusiasm of the best deck ape’s I have ever known!
(PQS=Personnel Qualification Standards) for all you land lubbers.

When i had a Boat my Daughter was the "Chief"
she handled all the deck duties my wife steered clear of


I had a Friend who in boot Camp learned the Phrase

"Bosuns Mates are Beautiful"

Usually delivered in full voice

Clearly she knows how to handle a line--she has you hog-tied already.

What a lovely age!

Somehow, I get the feeling if you try to nickname her "Boats" that you will be overruled by a higher power. As in her mom!

She's a cutie.

I can think of very many things much worse than being a sucker for a beautiful girl!

It's amazing how most of those lines are attached to your heart.

Her gig line needs some work, but at that age, what does it matter! She seems to enjoy what she is doing...

Looks like she's already working on the coffee cup forefinger, never did know a bos'n mate that could point with his forefinger without it being crooked from all them years of packing a coffee cup around.
