    These look nice, there is lots of helpful information that you put into these documents.

    You even got a few of my pictures in there. That helps in these days of social distancing.

    Airedale. Father was a black shoe but myself and my daughter saw the light.

    So, two generations learned from the elder. And, that is how it should be.

    In the sea services (Coast Guard and Navy). Black shoes are the sailors, and brown shoes or airedales or the aviators. Within those services, there is quite a bit of animosity between the two factions... generally because the brown shoes think they are a step above the sailors.

    Because you are a good friend, and very capable of keeping a closely guarded secret, we'll let you in on the coded language. But don't tell anyone else and keep it just between us.

    In U.S. Navy jargon, "gouge" is the essential piece of information; the heart of the matter; or outstanding test-preparation material (such as an old test copy). A person who is tired of hearing all the extraneous information surrounding a problem might exclaim, "Just give me the gouge!" Originated at the U.S. Naval Academy and introduced from there into the wider Navy, where it sees less frequent usage.

    See https://www.doncio.navy.mil/ContentView.aspx?ID=893

    Airedales are of the aviation variety and blackshoes are of the shipboard variety.

    Just keeping it real. I didn't know the term "gouge" except as a tool or ripping someone off.
