      About This Book

       "When a sailor goes ashore after a long, hard period at sea he wants to accomplish three things: get drunk, hook up with a woman and get in a fight. If he manages to do two of the three it's considered a good liberty."

      Those words, spoken by the fictional Tyke, the diminutive, hell-raising Navy first-class petty officer in "Patsy and the Tyke," is but one of sixteen actual real-life stories that have been set to fiction in this book of short stories.

      The reader will meet the intellectually challenged Seaman Bobby Joe Solomon who nearly sets his general quarters station ablaze while polishing his shoes in "Dumber Than a Bag of Hammers." 

      <      p>Geno, the tough-as-nails sailor from South Baltimore City is always ready to defend his current girl friend with his fists is introduced to the reader in "The World-Famous Jet Inn." 

      Parachute rigger Bill Thompson's compulsion to"moon" bar patrons in an Australian bar gets an unusual reaction in "Whiskey Bill Drops His Toolbag."

      <      /em>Senior Chief Gunners Mate John "I.W." Harper,whose nickname is representative of an above-average fondness for a certain brand of bourbon in "Semper Fi," arbitrates an ugly dispute between a Filipino club manager and two young Marines.

      These are a few of the memorable characters you will meet in Sea Stories: Tales told by an Old School, Politically Incorrect Navy Chief."       Some are hilariously funny, some are tragic, some are violent, some vulgar. All will afford the reader laughter, and a welcome escape from the uptight political correctness of today's society.
