I know I’ve posted about this before but.

Ship prefixes refer to the country. Not the military.

The Donnager should be the MCS (Martian Congressional Ship) Donnager.

The UNN Zhang Fei should be the UNS Zhang Fei.

The USS Ronald Reagan is not the USN Ronald Reagan. It’s the country’s ship, not the Navy’s.

No one cares besides me. I know. It doesn’t really matter. I know. But it’s my Tumblr and if I want to spew the useless naval information I learned as a 10-year-old watching JAG, I will.

I have a request. It's alright if you don't wish to do it but I would appreciate if you thought about it, I would be happy if you did my request. Top gun meeting Bob's sibling (can use any pronoun you wish) who is deaf, sibling is also a very talented pilot. Thank you for reading and thinking this over.

BABES!!!!! I didn't even need a minute to think this over because this is just......*chef's kiss*. Literally anytime you wanna send something in, just do it, I don't bite, but just know that 18+ rules do apply.

You, Bob and the rest of the Daggers were busy getting the house ready for the Christmas chaos that was bound to ensue. You were a little more than just anxious to know that Bob's seven older siblings would be descending en-masse with their spouses and kids, plus the Daggers and their families.

"Dad it's not that hard to get outta there," Bob explained to his father on the FaceTime call.

"You sure there's no toll booths or anything? Last time we flew to Florida, we hit just about every toll booth on the way outta Orlando," Joe explained.

"Dad it's one of the smallest airports in the US," Bob said, pinching the bridge of his nose. "You have nothing to worry about."

"Alright I'm heading upstairs to the gate to go get your sister, I'll see ya later, gotta go, bye," Joe said abruptly before hanging up.

Bob groaned as he hung up the call, wanting nothing more than to throw his phone across the room.

"You good?" you laughed, tossing some more lettuce into the salad bowl.

"Man's flown everywhere most of his life and still can't figure out how to navigate an airport," Bob groaned.

"Sounds like my Papa," Natasha laughed.

"Yeah well, Earl may have never flown a day in his life, but at least he knew his way around," Bob pointed out.

Almost as if he had been summoned, Earl Trace had come clunking up the stairs. "S'all this now 'bout navigatin?" he chuckled, his Florida drawl thicker than the snow outside.

"Nothin Pa," Natasha answered.

"Ight imma go out for some air," Earl told them. "Holler if ya'll need anythin."

You took one look at your exasperated husband and could tell he wasn't ready for the Christmas shitshow just yet.

Later that day when you, Natasha and the other girls were all getting dinner ready for the evening, you heard Joe pulling up in the truck with two other people in the back. The girl with the two braided pigtails falling down her shoulders was obviously Bob's sister Aly and the man with her was her husband, Jason.

"Hey ya'll look who I found," Joe chuckled as they came in the door.

You all greeted Aly happily and Jason too, but Hangman looked a little too pleased to see her.

"So you're Baby On Board's older sister right?" Jake asked, sticking a toothpick between his teeth, wiggling his eyebrows a little.

"Hey, fuck off Bagman!" Aly signed furiously.

Jake was a little shocked. "She.....she um.....Bob you wanna help me out here?"

"Aly's deaf in both ears but she speaks ASL fluently and can read lips," Bob explained. "She's a hell of a pilot too."

"Navy?" Jake asked turning to Aly.

"Yeah Navy," Aly signed again. "Did a full tour last spring at Pearl Harbor."

"Which ship?"

"USS Ronald Reagan," Aly answered.

Jake's eyebrows arched in surprise. "You a WSO like your baby brother?"

Aly nodded.

"Holy shit Bob," Jake chuckled. "You didn't tell me your sister was a WSO."

"Yep," Bob replied. "Callsign Bright-Eyes."

You and Bob couldn't help but chuckle when the others got their first taste of Aly, totally in shock at first but desperate to hear what she had to say, even if it took them a minute to figure it out or if Jason had to translate.

"What do you think Bob?" you asked him. "Looks like they've taken to your sister pretty well."

"Oh trust me sweetheart, they have," he said. "But wait till my brothers show up. That'll be interesting."

You laughed and leaned against your husband's shoulder, your fingers laced together tightly as you enjoyed the chaos at its best.

august 27th : surfboard

Lucy eyes the water suspiciously. The waves crash around her ankles and she wades a little deeper, until the water reaches her knees, then pauses and looks out at the vast ocean before her.

In the six months since she returned from her time on the USS Ronald Reagan, she has become more and more confident in the water. She still prefers an energetic hike to a day at the beach, but Kate’s love of the ocean means they spend more time here now and she has grown to love how relaxed she feels listening to the sound of the waves. Saturdays are spent swimming or finding the best places to snorkel – or even jumping off a boat (as long as Kate is holding her hand).

She knows how keen Kate has been to get her on a surfboard. There have been a few Saturday mornings when she has woken Lucy on her way out, wondering if she wants to join her. She has always been met with a sleepy ‘no’… until one evening this week when Lucy had taken a deep breath and announced that she wants to learn to surf.

Kate insisted that she be the one to teach her – in return for Lucy teaching her how to fight and protect herself last year, she says. Of course, she has taken the role very seriously. The past few days have been spent pouring over videos, showing Lucy the basics so that she is prepared for her first lesson. How hard can it be to stand up on a surfboard anyway?

“You know, I love seeing you in the water.”

Lucy looks over her shoulder as Kate appears, a surfboard floating next to her. She has a grin on her face that gives away just how excited she is to share her hobby with Lucy.

Lucy returns her smile and listens as Kate launches into an explanation of how they are going to get a little deeper and Lucy is going to ride some of the waves lying on the surfboard to get used to the motion. Well, half-listens. She is distracted by the two-piece that Kate is wearing that shows off her abs, and oh Lucy loves the curve of her hips and the way her muscles twitch at the softest of touches.

Kate clears her throat and Lucy lifts her eyes away from Kate’s stomach to her eyes, feigning innocence.

"Hmm?"

Kate tries (and fails) to hide her smile.

“Are you paying attention?”

Lucy scoffs. “Of course,” she lies, a sly smile on her face.

Kate nudges her arm playfully and tips her head towards the deeper water.

“Come on, let’s get you on this board.”

They walk further into the water until the water is lapping around Lucy’s waist.

“You ready?” Kate asks.

Lucy pauses, suddenly hit with nerves.

“Hey,” Kate says softly, reaching out and taking her hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. “You’ll be fine; I’ve got you. And if you really don’t want to do this, we don’t have to.”

The light catches her hair and makes her look like a literal angel, and Lucy wonders how she got so lucky. Kate’s words are enough to allay Lucy’s fears. She takes a deep breath, filling her lungs and letting the oxygen calm her.

“Let’s do this.”
