2014 13th MEU Tiger Cruise

[Old Bearkat]

I always enjoyed the tiger cruise. What was everyday norm for most of us, was usually quite fascinating to the guests. They always seemed to have a lot of fun.

I'm glad I did it, but I won't do it again. The conventional Navy does treat enlisted folks below E-6 like dirt. Tom is an E-5

The food quality could use improvement. The enlisted berthing areas for the Marines are crappy. 225 guys in a box less than 60 ft per side, including showers/heads......

Just to clarify, Tom is a Marine, not a sailor.....

or in the vernacular, Tom is a jarhead, not a squid...........

You forgot the traditional Marine perjorative that precedes squid.......

One of the wise guys at work had photoshop on his computer.....

I have NEVER seen water this blue.....

This picture just does not do the brightness of it justice.

The racks we all slept in. The ultimate in Naval enlisted luxury.......

Wow Bearkat these pictures are amazing. I'm in awe from seeing each one. I know the 4 make you proud.
