A Little Halloween Fun

I have to say, DECATUR
is the most celebratory ship I’ve ever served in. We celebrate
EVERYTHING, and Halloween was no different. Not only did we have costumes, but
hallway and door decorations (I was the judge) and even an apple bobbing
contest. I tell you, childhood apple bobbing contests have nothing on our
Sunday night – we pitted two guys against each other in a bracket-style competition
down to the winner, which ended up a best 2 out of 3 because it was so fun. I
should mention that the big cooler we used was filled with ice and water in
addition to apples. In the final contest we took all but two of the apples
out, just to make it a real challenge. Given that we were about to enter the Persian
Gulf and start working for real shortly thereafter, we took the time to do it
up right!

A great time when the "old lady" likes to play as well as work!
