39. People from the bowels of the ship used to stop by our maint control
Edited on Sat Jul-30-11 01:29 PM by Obamanaut
to ask if they could go on the flight deck.

I'd take them myself usually. Get them helmets, vests, etc. so we could go up on a launch cycle.

My brief was sorta like "Stay within arms length of me. If I duck, you duck. If I run, you run. If I go over the side, you stay behind and tell someone." I thought it was cute.

Except for that miserable HSL episode, I liked my job every single day. We were watching some sort of carrier ops movie one night, and Miz O said "You miss it, don't you." Yes, I do.

One tour I was a flight engineer in WC 121 aircraft flying into typhoons out of Guam. That was exciting.
