Did you ever hear about US Marines going on float and stoping in Austrailia and woman will throw tennis balls on the ships with their number? I have been in the Marines for 3 years and have gone there but I hear about it all the time. Anyone hear of it too?

im from australia, and no those things dont happen here, we do have the skanks that will wait at the docks when they hear a boat is arriving, but that is a select few.... its funny to see the way some of them act when they get their hands onto one of u boys... townsville has its fair share of the skanks, just go to the seaview hotel next time ur here

When I was in the Navy we went to Sydney and Perth. The old guys told us about this thing the Aussies do. They volunteer their homes for the Sailors to stay there. The women willing sharing their beds and the husbands don't care. They also told us that we would be able to throw our Dixie Cups (little white hat) to the pier and that is how the women would be assigned. When we actually got there none of the those things actually happened. The people were great in Australia, but the husbands do care if you sleep with their wives. There were no tennis balls thrown on the ship, that could not be allowed for safety and security reasons.
