I was assigned to the port shaft alley during sea and anchor detail when I was on the Oriskany. 8 decks down from the weather deck, IIRC. That was the passageway where you had to go by the Marines who were protecting the alleged nukes. One time I had the flu and the attendant muscle aches, cramping and diarrhea. That made for a real pleasant stay in that hole. I don't miss it at all. (April 22, 2019 at 9:54 pm)The Valkyrie Wrote:(April 22, 2019 at 9:47 pm)Fireball Wrote: Cuba. Hard to say. The people on the island may be closely related to the native people who were frogmarched out to someplace really cold.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

He was locked to that tower continuously. Some jerkwad that didn't want to go on WestPac dumped the lube oil from one of the spring bearing on Peleliu. We were doing flank speed on the other shaft to keep up with the squadron. Meanwhile me, the MMCS and 5-6 drones were replacing the spring bearing. I was sitting on the shaft, cleaning out the sump, when the pin holding the jacking gear broke. Flung me against the bulkhead. They were ready to evac me when I regained consciousness. I missed the trip up the trunk in a Stokes litter. (April 22, 2019 at 6:18 pm)Gawdzilla Sama Wrote: ...is one where you're one step away from your car or truck.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
