Looking at your Diver's license I have to remember a sketch of the comedian Michael Mittermeier, unfortunately it's on german.
TO the patches: you are like a friend of mine he also collects patches he is also a jet noise junky. I must say I'm a bit jealous.

B
Haha 😉 you should get into patch collecting. It's really cool.They're usually cheap,unless it's the same Apollo 11 one I got,it's from 1969. I got it for 135 dollars...with a newspaper from July 20th 1969 🙂

B
What's "jet noise junkie" mean? Lol

Duncan Cook
That he is addicted to Jet noise, he is a plane spotter.

B
I'm not addicted to it 😉 but I consider myself a plane spotter...

Duncan Cook
He is one of these hardcore spotters, he is tesspassing just for good pictures and noise.

B
I'm not like that,I'll go out for the day (I live near an air force base) and walk around,see what they're doing that day but I won't trespass to get a good shot

Scuba diving is really cool,but up in Massachusetts the water is freezing! The deepest I've been was 55 feet. The USS Florida patch was my dad's,he was the mechanic for the sub. The Merchant Marine one is my Uncle's. His routes were usually in Africa,he told me that he's been around Somalia a few times. I don't remember if he said anything about somali pirates. He also said he was at sea when Captain Rich Phillips was taken hostage.

Hey Brandon, I see some of your space patches very cool. When I was young my family lived only a few miles from the Kennedy Space Center. My dad work there and was in charge of fueling the rockets. from 1962 to 1974 my dad work on the rockets, from the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo Programs. I was able to watch all of the lunches from the front yard of my house. and many time I went down to Cocoa beach to watch the lunches. I also collect patches.
I have all of the early NASA patches and alot of US Navy Squadron patches.

B
Wow! That's cool!! Did you see Apollo 11 launch?

John Thomas
Yes, I saw all of the Apollo lunches. and was on the Space Center for Apollo 17 the only night lunch. It's a shame now days about the US Space Program.

B
That must of been amazing!!! I bet you remember Apollo 12 getting struck by lightning? It is a shame....I was disappointed when they ended the Shuttle program. But they say by 2017 an American will once again set foot on the moon!

John Thomas
Yes, I was in my junior high school lunch room and saw it on TV. Man how stupid was it to lunch A Saturn V in a run storm. Dont know about the moon by 2017. NASA will need a rocket as big as the Saturn V and they dont have one.

B
They're "working" on it. But all the capsule tests are complete,they'll launch an unmanned one later this year!

John Thomas
Good to hear NASA is doing something

B
Yeah it is!! Finally able to see the moon in HD!
