| FTBL Army / Navy. You'll watch this game if you love America.

When you were little, did you ever play Navy with your friends? I didn’t think so. Everybody played Army.

On a serious note, yes.

Brahan Spring Park, Huntsville, AL. There's one location.

I saved up enough money to buy a remote controlled battleship (a lot like the one pictured below.) It was $119.99. I remember that specifically: Radio Shack had a TV on sale that weekend for the same price and it took a minute to make the decision. I went with the battleship. The three friends of mine in the neighborhood...the four of us running those in the water, at the park.

Is that playing Navy?

I watch every year, regardless of records. The site of the Cadets and Midshipmen marching in is something to behold.

That’s driving a boat.

A Navy boat, replica of a Navy battle ship.

Could you shoot the enemy? Could you launch an attack? Who did you fight against?

No. Yes. And other boats on the water.

I sank many a ship running over them. Wrecked even more with a PIT maneuver.

Was it electronic or did you make up the sounds?

I make up the sound!

I did the same thing playing Army, when I pick up that stick to be my weapon. I said BANG!! BANG!!

 

[bamafan4ever]

Was it electronic or did you make up the sounds?

Both. The electronic version kept my older brother honest. He would just move his ships around the manual coordinates and the e-version, he could not do that. He ended up in the Navy so, there's that.
