The brain-storm of writing a few of my sea stories and invite others to share theirs as well was planted in my mind during the early 1960's while stationed at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. I love to hear and tell sea stories. Camp Lejeune abounded with guys that not only told their tales over a few beers but also created a few on the spot at the same time. I even managed to create several sea stories in my own right with some of my not so mature antics. Anyway, I thought back then wouldn't it be a great idea to collect some of those tales under one cover to share with the world. Well, it took thirty years but I finally got around to doing it. You will not only read my favorite sea stories about myself that Marines are so famous at telling, you are also going to read a goodly share from Marines and sailors around the country that thought well enough of this idea to contribute their own. In addition, you will read a few from members of the other branches of service.
