Commando Apology

Dear Rich

I have had a guilty feeling the whole day, and feel I must report myself before it eats me up inside.

This morning, after stepping out of the shower, I dried myself as usual and applied lather, then started stropping my razor. During the changeover from Linen to Leather I noticed my bathrobe, and donned it.

I did not realise the consequences of my actions until half way through the shave, and by then I was too warm and snuggly to take it off again.

In my defence, it had rained all night, and the temperature had dropped, but we still had windows open all over the flat, and so it was a little chilly in the bathroom.

I realise that this puts my position in your commandos at risk, and the much awaited promotion will evaporate before my eyes, but I feel that honesty is the best policy in such dire circumstances.

Kind Regards

Si

We'll wait for the commander to comment. It might be a minor infraction that you can be forgiven for, but he has the final say. I'll wait until then to sound Taps.

It is the commander's place to make judgement on these infractions, but in my opinion you might lose rank, but won't be dishonerably discharged for this infraction, unless, you happened to be using a mach3 at the time.:eek::roflmao

This is very true.. As long as you still had a str8 in your hand you will only need to do 10 pushups with no loss of rank or status..:roflmao

Sunsi,

I think that you did the right thing by admitting
what you did.

If you are very lucky and the gods are smiling
down on you, Rich will be in a good mood and
let this slide with a stern warning. If not, then
i suppose that we will see you on the other side.

I wish you luck.

I shave commando most of the time. If I'm just doing a quick WTG shave too remove a small amount of growth, I'll just do one hot towel, lather, strop and shave. (Generally after work before a night out). Usually, however, it's commando all the way.

Unfortunately that will become less frequent when the fiancee gets home from college because I need to be able to take a break from shaving if she needs to use the bathroom.

Hey hey hey. Stand your ground soldier... If you don't maintain control of the bathroom you will constantly be putting the seat down and cleaning around the bowl for the rest of your life... yessshhhhh:roflmao

It's her parents' house. I am their permanent house guest. Don't worry, I have the counter pretty well full of bowls and razors. I can always show her Don's Den if she thinks it's too much. Either way, when she's home, donning a robe and opening the door generally makes her stand there and stare at me with those deep, dark, gorgeous eyes, and leads to some nice kissing afterwards.

I'll take the kissing when I can get it (which isn't as often as I'd like). Once we're married and living in my house (I move in there in August), then I can shave commando with the door open.

I wish I had that luxury. Without my glasses, I can't even tell you who's hanging on the crucifix around my neck.

BTW-do the following things disqualify me as a commando?
ID bracelet, ring, crucifix necklace
They are 3 items of jewelery that I never remove, not even in the shower.

Could be then. Pryor is only about 45 or 50 miles from Tulsa.

The crucifix I never take off is only on a 24-or-so inch chain. My big crucifix (Ebony and Silver) is on a 30 inch chain and isn't worn regularly.

No, I don't have to pay rent, I just treat their daughter amazingly well.

thank you for the deferment, Commander.

Sorry for the confusion. Mom moved there after Hurricane Katrina. Although, like I said, could very well be cousins. Don't know much before my Great-Grandfather. We know he ended up in Missouri, but he came from Prussia with 2 brothers. I really need to get on the genealogy websites and find out.

Lot of people had to move because of Katrina. How does she like BA?
Would be interesting to know if they are related. I met a couple through ham radio that wound up being a distant cousin and his wife. My 7 or 8th great grandfather and his 5th or 6th great grandfather were brothers.

Unfortunately, Ham Radio-wise I'm inactive with no equipment. I am a General Class though. Isn't it a wonderful hobby? Mom likes BA, she lives with some friends who run a Wedding Chair Cover business, and it's booming, so I guess they're doing well.

Right now I'm fairly inactive as well. I had taken my hf antenna down for repairs prior to the big ice storm and just haven't gotten them hung back up.
I'm also a General Class, do have a couple of hf rigs, both need work, one has problems with receive, the other is brain dead lol. Its onboard memory was powered by a watch battery, if unplugged for a long period of time, the battery would go dead and you lose not just memory channels, but operating system as well. :cry:FYI, if you get a chance to buy an Icom IC 745, they are good radio's, just make sure you never keave them unplugged!
