Naval rangs, badges and T-shirts (maritime related) a Bag and some books (all maritime again)

Got a lot of books, a new Cammenga US Military tritium compass, a radio headset, some shirts and ties, and some new sheets for my bed (thank God as my current ones are in really bad shape).

Especially excited about receiving Friedman's US Cruisers and US Battleships!

Excellent books! Got them when new some 25-30 years ago!

A small haul this year!

a large drafting board
4 maritime books(& 2 novels)
chocolates of course
two pairs of board shorts
a new alternator for my car
a re-arrangement of my room

But I think my family has given me the greatest gifts of being there to greet me as I cleared customs (and trying to get a 60 year old Laotian Sword through!)
