I SWEAR it looks like RobR1205 in that picture with the coast guard troops that rescued Russel Crowe!!

I am so completely not sure.....LOOKS alot like him, but now I am not so sure. but I about busted out when
I saw the photo on NBC news, lol.

Tough call....I guess Rob is going to have to settle it.

Would be cool if it was. Is there the same rule as with the fire dept?? Get you picture on TV on in the paper you have to buy your crew ice cream????

The resemblance is uncanny, but this was the caption of that same photo on foxnews.com:

"Sept. 2, 2012: A photo provided by the U.S. Coast Guard shows Russell Crowe, center, with Coast Guard petty officers Robert Swieciki, left, and Thomas Watson. (AP2012)"

Yeah by the time I posted it I as no longer very sure...A little research would have helped me not post a thread, lol.
But what the hell, its slow around here anyway. I like Russell Crowe in the master and commander film,
hopefully one day, FILMS. Face is different anyway. Our boy has a babyface, lol

My understanding is that Rob has been impersonating CG personnel for years in order to make additional income. Now you've outed him and he'll have to stop the practice.

Well played while it lasted Rob. Hope it doesn't cut in to your cigar budget too much.

Damn Crowe is looking old!

If only that really was me! But thanks for thinking of me Brad! Unfortunately, the academic year is in full swing here at the academy, so the only thing I'm "protecting" these days are my grades...21 credits is going to be an @$$ kicker

Re: I see one of our boys (RobR1205) did something famous!....maybe
 

Just wait...happens to the best of us. :r

Re: I see one of our boys (RobR1205) did something famous!....maybe
 

In a way, I'm glad Rob wasn't one of those guys . . . Crowe might've thrown a phone at him!

Re: I see one of our boys (RobR1205) did something famous!....maybe
 

Rob is at the Coast Guard Academy in New London, CT. Since he's going Officer, I'm promise he had nothing to do with any actual Coastie seamanship, besides slaving on the Barque Eagle
:)

:r Not the first time I've heard that

Re: I see one of our boys (RobR1205) did something famous!....maybe
 

annnnnnnnnnd it won't be the last. It'll just change from being said to your face, to behind your face :r

Re: I see one of our boys (RobR1205) did something famous!....maybe
 

LOL... ummm agreed, coming from a Enlisted guy....-(P

Re: I see one of our boys (RobR1205) did something famous!....maybe
 

Yeah... heh. About the only time the likes of us can sorta (unofficially) outrank a future officer are those summer showboat tours on the Eagle.

Re: I see one of our boys (RobR1205) did something famous!....maybe
 

The rescuers face is too round anyway.

Speaking of rescue....you should watch this video.
I went ahead and edited the original and slowed it down
so you could see all the brutal face-planting and the seemingly
endless supply of flying sunglasses, lol....clicky the piccie
