I woke up this morning thinking more about certain scenes from the 1982 "An Officer And A Gentleman," which my thoughts suggest I had some form of creative input on. The reaction from "Lynnette" after "Paula" made, what I assume is a gesture for 3 points, suggests to me that was the response of the losing team. It is probably something I put in there in the movie so I could point it out later to Phoebe when I told her about all this stuff.
And "Paula" doesn't seem to really smoke the cigarette. The actress actually seems to be pretending to smoke the cigarette. She is acting out pretending to smoke the cigarette. Some actors could pretend to smoke a cigarette and make it seem she really was smoking the cigarette. I think Winger was deliberately acting that she was smoking the cigarette. She doesn't exhale any smoke.
"Paula" observes that "Lynnette" has the timetable down after "Lynnette" reveals something about tracking sailors coming into port for 3 years. She specifically mentions the Lexington. This detail would seem to connect that scene with when I sucessfully diverted the comet in 1976. I arrived at the comet on 7/2/1976 and then it was diverted on 7/4/1976.
The USS Lexington CV-16 was commissioned 33 years, 4.59 months before 7/4/1976, forming a 334-59 clue.

The Battles of Lexington and Concord were the first military engagements of the American Revolutionary War. They were fought on April 19, 1775, in Middlesex County, Province of Massachusetts Bay, within the towns of Lexington, Concord, Lincoln, Menotomy (Arlington), and Cambridge, near Boston. The battles marked the outbreak of open armed conflict between Great Britain and its thirteen colonies in the mainland of British North America.
The battles, particularly the skirmish at the North Bridge, are known as the "shot heard 'round the world", described in Ralph Waldo Emerson's Concord Hymn. The battle of Lexington lasted just 8 minutes.

USS Lexington (CV/CVA/CVS/CVT-16), known as "The Blue Ghost", was an Essex-class aircraft carrier, the fifth United States Naval ship named in honor of the Revolutionary War Battle of Lexington. Laid down as Cabot on 15 July 1941 by Bethlehem Steel Co., Quincy, Mass., the ship was renamed Lexington 16 June 1942, after the loss of Lexington (CV-2) in the Battle of the Coral Sea. She was launched 23 September 1942; sponsored by Mrs. Theodore Douglas Robinson; and commissioned 17 February 1943, Captain Felix Budwell Stump, USN in command.
I wonder if this is why I "remember" Paul Herman from boot camp in 1984. I think I noted something about him in my journal before. This guy was a basketball assistant coach at the Academy in the early 80's.
