USS Providence command coins for sale

I have 6 command coins from USS Providence (SSN-719) for sale. Four of them have a clear resin over them, the other two are without the resin. The front side of the coin has the ship's seal and the back has the dolphins and "pride runs deep" around them. Also the border of the back has the ship's motto, "I wish to have no connection with any ship that does not sail fast, for I intend to go into harms way." I'm asking $13 for each of them or I'll trade for other coins (submarine related only please). I'll accept check or paypal.

I'll get better pictures up here soon as I can get some that aren't all fuzzy. As with other things I've sold before either drop me a post or email me and I'll send these out as soon as possible.

Zippo Lighters for sale

Like I've mentioned before, I'll be leaving the area and going back home soon. In preparation my wife and I had yard sale and I figured I'd put something up here for my visitors. I have 12 Zippo lighters from USS Providence (SSN-719) for sale. They are all new, never used and still in the original standard black Zippo box. The body of the lighter has the ship's seal and the cap has the dolphins emblem. I'm asking $15 for each of them. I'll accept check or paypal.



If anyone is interested drop me a post or email and I'll send them out to the first 12 people to contact me.

5,000th Visitor

Today marks my 5,oooth visitor to my site that I started back in April 2005. I reset my counter to keep things a bit managable and so I can mark the next milestone again in the future. Kepp on enjoying the site, hopefully I'll have more time to post now that I won't be at sea anymore.

Civilian life here I come!

Well I'm off to the civilian world. I signed my DD-214 today and checked out on terminal leave. Only 28 more days left! Also got a nice little separation pay that I wasn't expecting at all! I didn't quite realize exactly how much there is to do before I complete this transition. Eventually I'll get around to posting some photos from deployment as promised, but as you can imagine I've been busy getting everything ready. I'll just have to add it to my list of things to do....
