At work today i received a minor commendation for managing to make it in a few weeks ago on a very stormy april day while the streets were flooded with ice and slush and my train was not running. 75% of the office didnt make it in but i persevered and drove all the way downtown so my audit manager nominated me for an award, hooray. And better than that the rx8 made it through the slippery mess like a champ.

 

Suck Up.

JK, good job. Do you get money, fame and or hot naked chicks?

 

small gift certifiate and a gold pin (when you get 5 you also get the next level up commendation as well)

 

SWEEEET, chicks dig gold pens!!!!

Not to thread jack, but I thought it was funny (and on topic of awards).

I just got a Navy Medal for saving a Navy patrol boat a few months ago.... It sank at 10am, they tried for hours to avoid calling us cause we are Army and the Navy "runs diving". Their divers can't get it, so the Army boats (yep u heard right) get wind of the deal, call us, come get us at noon. We go out, raise it and get it tied to the Army boat at 10pm same day. And the Army boat, with Army sailors and Army divers, tows the Navy boat back in to the pier where EVERY Navy guy on base is gathered under the flood lights. Then we get a medal from the Navy, but they don't give it to us, or even show up. Our Army SF Colonel presents it... never even SAW a Navy dude on the whole thing except the spectators on the pier....

 

now thats a story bet every navy guy there was cursing under their breath

 

and now so many others know the story. that could not have felt good to be on that pier in a navy uniform that day.

 

And it is not like we would gloat or anything?????

 

Show me the money.

 

good job

 

In my world, boats are supposed to sink. /shrug

But I'm a nuke, I'm not in the real Navy...

 

Shouldn't this be in the lounge?

bob sledding and kangaroo pouches

 

for once i have a story dealing with my car, not everything i do is for the lounge...is it?

 

anytime you drive your 8 in very bad inclement weather to make it to work...that definitely merits "rx8 discussion"

 

haha, congrats. Did you 8 swirve around a lot during the ice and slush? Or did it feel like a 4WD, if you know what I mean?

 

Those who didn't make it to work, decided to use the weather as a good excuse for a day off!

 

Listen, I'm not going to lie to you. I was just it in for the +1.

 

where do you work?

 

yes...they were the smart ones and deserve the merit....

haha jk.... what a trooper!!!! the almighty 8 prevails!

 

"Navy Medal" as in it goes on your uniform? What's the name for it as written on the certificate? Who signed for it?

Where did this salvage take place?

Why didn't the Navy get it themselves? Were their people unavailable, or did they attempt? If so, what Navy dive unit were you assisting? Why could they not bring up a small object in a minimum of depth of water?

What type of Navy patrol boat sank? Why did it sink? Who did it belong to?

Who were these Navy Sailors who gathed at the waterfront past 2200 for a small Port Operations incident?

 

Woah!

User24 PM me for info.

 

wow Kane, nice job... also sounds like you have OSI or a disbeliever on your tail...

 

+1 for popsicle sticks

 

^did i even spell that right?

 

Almost Friday.

 

MazdaspeedFeras how's that employee of the month thing workin' out for ya?

POP! WTF!




That rocks, I am one of the few that end up at work in inclement weather. It helps that I am less than 4 miles from work and live just off of a state highway.
