RE: Whos Military/Former Military ?
ORIGINAL: valor10 By the way, no such thing as a retired Navy Chief. Once a Chief, always a Chief. Talking about what you don't miss...... riding out a hurricanein 50-60 foot seas on a 438 foot Knox class frigate. That comes to mind. |
RE: Whos Military/Former Military ?
I did that on a destroyer and it sucked enough.... wouldn't wanna do it on a frigate

Ret. USAF 1977 to 1997 (E6)
Currently my son is in the USAF and just re-up'd for another 4 years...when I asked him why he didn't get out after his first 6 years, he said "The job is finished over there and why quit now". God bless those who serve so others maybe free. |

walking down the p-way leaving footprints on one wall and then the other while the deck is going 50 feet up, then 50 feet down.. using sheets to tie yourself to your bunk so you don't get thrown out. Nope, don't miss that at all. |

RE: Whos Military/Former Military ?
LittleChief, I would know about all that rock and roll stuff. I was on carriers my whole career. Those things don't move much unless it is really nasty out. Yes, I have seen water breaking over the bow (yes, on a carrier), but I can count those days on my fingers.
DT, I would imagine most military people don't consider themselves heroes, but if I were standing with the President (or any other human) and they came under fire, I would shield them as best I could. It is not that I am a hero, but I don't think my life is any more (or any less) precious than theirs. I know what I have done with my life and would be satisfied if my story were to close today. I don't know that the other person has achieved their purpose yet. (Especially the President!) |

What's a DORM??
ORIGINAL: Paul L Mohr 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. Paul |

I am NOT but my son has been in the Navy for 1.5 years now and my daughter is getting everything together to join the Air Force sometime this fall. Holidays should be fun with those two fighting about who is better.
