Man we used the crap out of that cleaning the crane cables on the ship. That was a miserable task. One of the reasons I got away from being a Bosun fast.
 
Nice need this badly

That doesn't sound fun. We used to have to remove Grade 4 from all adel clamps in the fuselage of the aircraft, not much airflow as you work towards the tail of an A-6. That was a 28 day inspection

Being a BM for two years looking back really sucked. So glad I became a IS. Now talk about the opposite side of the spectrum there.

Actually have that one. Biggest problem for me is finding what the distributor settings should be. Motors I had a early one back to 30. Just gave it to Matt did not have what I need. PIA on the old stuff. Told Marilyn I need to spend a day in the AACA library in Hershey getting page copies made. In that book I just got prob three pages of what I need in it.

That's very true. When I made Chief on the USS Peleliu there were several BMC and SC's, great dudes with lot of "personality", especially in port lol!

Hell yeah. We had to stand the lookouts 24/7 and daily work. Three shift. Man sleep was a privilege. For those that don't know how it worked you did the reg work 0700 to 1600. Then all day every day you had watches on top of that. Helm, Lee helm, port and starboard and aft lookout in every sort of weather. Shifts were like this
1) 0000-0400
2) 0400-0600
3) 0600-0800
1) 0800-1200
2) 1200-1600
3) 1600-1800
1) 1800-2000
2) 2000-0000
3) 0000-0400
etc 7 days a week on the way.

Sleep was impossible you were a zombie after a week. So yes you partied hard in port to forget about it.

Also the Bosum rating was where they put all the people that could not get through technical schools. I went in undesignated since I had no idea what I wanted to do. Lots of Judge ordered join the military guys at that time also. You had to be street smart for sure.

Got hit a few times by waves. You had a harness during serious stuff like hurricanes did not matter. Been ion 50 plus waves for sure

Wow, Mike, hope this is the day you get to feeling better :thumbsup: Wife and I sat in the shop alone doing a few things, I wired up and got my pool table light going, 12 ft ladder work, enjoys 2 deer chilly chilly dogs. No crowd here, but I bet there will be a big count of sick folks after that super bowl game.
 
Rich I have no Idea how I pulled off getting my ESWS badge with all that going on. Glad I did that sucker paid off big deployed in the USAF. SeaBees usually were the construction guys on base and would scrounge there and they would see the badge be amazed and give me the keys. Prob the only guy in the USAF that had one.
 
Yesterday was wife and my 44th wedding anniversary, but the ft ball game over shadowed it , just another day on the hill anymore, but flowers and card from me of course
