CAR NAME–YEAR & MODEL INFO

One interesting thing did happen after everyone went to sleep around 12:00 am. I stayed up as I am a night owl and I was on my phone in the chow hall by myself and all of a sudden I see four guys in their early 20s speed walking towards me wearing special operations helmets and night vision. Now at this point, I am a little sleepy and was like what the hell... we have a SWAT team aboard the USS New Jersey? I was about ready to go find an AR15 and join these guys. It was like a night raid on the USS New Jersey, but seriously I was not expecting that. They went up the ladder to the top side and I didn’t see them again. What happened to these brave souls? Men in Black? I will never know, but God speed

MEMBERS OF THE STANG MAG FAMILY ARE MORE PASSIONATE ABOUT FUN AND INCLUSION THAN THEY ARE THEIR CARS AND THAT SAYS A LOT!

Well afterwards I got tired and finally decided to head below to sleep. We used the original racks to sleep in and I will tell you one thing, they are tiny. I squeezed my fluffy ass in one and it was tight, but honestly it was pretty comfortable once I got into my hole. After waiting an hour for ghosts (which never did show) I passed out and next thing I knew it was morning. They woke us up to Anchors Away, best song ever! And I flopped my jolly ass out of the rack and headed to top deck to see the sunrise. We opted out of morning chow and headed out to a Mexican place for brunch. Well, that was my experience and it was a blast! Anyone can sign up for the overnight sleepover and FYI, it’s cheaper than a hotel! Support the Battleship New Jersey and do it at least once! Until next time, I am signing out.

I met Daniel Ramey at a Beltway Mustang show and won my spot with STANG Magazine in their Carlisle Ford Nationals display. Needless to say I wasn’t sure what to expect being that I didn’t know the people attending and was going by myself.

The STANG Mag family welcomed me in from the very start and made me feel like one of their own!
