I'll tell you what I don't miss, working 14 hours then going back to the dorm to crawl into bed and having a hundred or so F-4 fighter jets take off while I'm trying to go to sleep
. Especially when they come off the runway and bank right infront of my dorm!
If I had it to do over again though I would have tried harder to stay in. I would be about ready to retire right now vrs being flat broke and in a job I don't know if I will have next year. I was young and stupid though, and I had just got married and had a kid on the way. I didn't think it would be a very good life for a family.

Ya Know what I don't miss... I definitely don't miss underway replinishments onboard a ship with a new captain.... talk about nerve racking...
Know what I do miss...
For some unknown reason, I miss sitting on deck at midnight in the gulf.... where its quiet as all getout, and its smooth as silk on the water... not even a ripple, the boat sails along and as you look up, there are more friggin stars than anywhere else in the world..... I (for some unknown reason) miss the gulf at night....
I also miss streamin Tomahawks off the aft missile deck into baghdad
