Those "sewer pipe" folk (whatever that means) haven't
really accepted any other radio users/operators who
served on land or in the air WITHOUT needing
all those mighty macho morsemanship skills. We "landlubbers"
(term used as a sort-of pejorative by swaggering sea-goers) are
supposedly nobodies due to the lack of morsebeeping in our
military records.

What's the matter, Len? Are you feeling left out of the conversation?

Contrary to your pedandic whining, I have nothing but positive regard for anyone
who served in any Armed Force, regardless of the color of their uniform, their
NEC (MOS to you), and whether or not they know what a sewer-pipe Radioman is (I
could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you).
