      Yellow indeed. I am working in the hanger (Bay 3) for this tour and hopefully the next ship will take me back topside. [-o<
      If I was a yellowshirt I would wanna be up top where the action is too. Hangar bay is all about precision parking of aircraft and topside is mostly about launch recovery. I was a white shirt up top - final checker/troubleshooter on prowlers... fun.

      It's cool the small world that we live in. I was stationed on the rock working out of the air ops facilities before this ship.
      I am going to miss the prowlers when they are gone. there is no other experience like standing next to a prowler in tension or in your case under and having that teeth rattling, filling destroying, ear ringing, feeling from that experience.

      Yup... Then you know exactly what I mean... I know it's permanent ringing in the ears from that job, but you can say you did it. You can say you slid down the non-skid pushed by the exhaust of one of the most powerful jet blasts...

      I know this thread is old and dead, but here I am, a day late and a dollar short. I'm in Blaine, about 3 blocks from Canada.
