While I don't expect many in Waller County to have an interest in what is clearly a navy destroyer book I did want to mention it because of what it means to the guys who contributed to it and to the two of us who spent many hours editing it.

Fifty Years in U. We, the contributing writers, are all members of the Secret Scurvy Dogs Society.
No, there isn't anything secret about us we just needed another word that started with the letter S and Scofflaws seemed too old fashioned while Swashbucklers really hasn't applied to anyone in the group for more than 20 years and in most cases more like It's just an old term for sailors, like Old Salts or Gobs or Tars. We kind of liked it so it stuck. Society is probably the most appropriate term.
We socialize daily though from afar. We even have one honorary Dog who lives in Korea, but he's retired Army and doesn't really count. So that's why the first part of the title is Scurvy Dogs.
Okay, so what is green water, you may ask? If you've ever been to sea on a small ship like a destroyer you know they bob around in rough water like a cork, pitching and yawing and rolling until the steadiest stomachs aboard seek out the bowls of crackers set about the mess decks where the crew eats to help settle troublesome tummies.
Heavy seas break over the ship without turning to foam and the normally deep blue sea has a greenish cast to it as it slams into the superstructure. Sign In Register Help Cart 0.
