Welcome aboard, from Virginia. Glad to see more Navy guys joining. I'm a navy veteran. I think we are still outnumbered by the Marines, though.

Glad to see another North Bay member--I'm in Windsor, and also a Navy veteran--Maybe we can carpool down to one of those Belmont kilt nights.

Welcome aboard from a Navy Vet

Welcome, that is some nice looking gear you've got in the Avatar. Are you still active duty or are you in the commercial end of things now? Tell us about the kilt too. USPHS, Airforce, Navy, Coast-Guard Audiology in my past, might have even seen a few Marines and Army. O'Neille

Welcome from Carlisle England

**USN Diver** · 5th September 06, 11:50 AM

Again, the warm welcome is much appreciated & I'll answer a couple questions here. Both Parents are full blooded Scots so I went with the Scottish National tartan (traditional.) I served in the Navy for 20 years (10 years Active Duty in the SEABEES and 10 years in the Naval Reserve as an EOD Diver.) I transfered into the Air Force Reserves at the 20 year mark (long story there) and am still serving (finished a 2 1/2 year activation last October.) I work for the State of California (CALTRANS) as a Bridge Inspection Diver. Can anyone tell me anything about the Kilt Nights in the Bay Area? Any excuse to wear the Kilt & drink sounds great.

Dave
