05' was good for those in '03 on the Norfolk waterfront. The Big Body Crew has been especially busy.  A few of us had the opportunity to cruise like Dominic "TYP"  Bailey and Brian "Rhino"  Anthony with the KEARSARGE ESG. Cee "Swolja" Harris, and D. Bailey will join Joseph  "Jombino" Owmby, Lenter "Twank" Thomas, and Chester Lee who are all currently standing the watch in the NAG and SAG with the Nassau ESG.

The All Navy Baseball Team branched out this year and started a second team on the east coast. 03' was well represented as I started in left field and served as an associate coach. 1st LT  Jay "Z man" Zwirblis was our ace pitcher before he made the blue to green move to Army. We know his heart is always with USNA, though. We had the chance to play in the Baysox Stadium and Bowie, MD and in Camden Yards on August 14. We were 5 0 against the Air Force East Coast team and look forward to a big season next year.

I had too much fun in Thimble Shoals Channel, Guadalajara's and at the Duck Inn in VaBeach so I am headed out to the second coast and the USS Princeton. In the illustrious words of CAPT Quintin "Q" Jones '98, "if it ain't tight it ain't right". '05 was definitely tight.
