Reply #141: It was pretty amazing to watch the evolutions on the flight deck. [View All]

I don't think I would have liked working up there.

I worked down in the engineering spaces running the nuclear power plants. We didn't see the daylight very often.

I remember one night when we first got into the Red Sea, we had bombs everywhere and planes being loaded. Our Captain came on later and said that he thought our planes were going in, but at the last moment there was a change of plans. Our ship was one of the first ones on station. It was a little tense for awhile.

It sounds like your son is doing well. Sicily? Not a bad place to be!

I am doing NOTHING related to what I did in the Navy...I like it that way.
