    Default Just one reason WHY I miss being back in the Navy after more than 20 years.

    That makes my damaged little heart go pitter-patter.

    Should trying being directly under the flight deck where the Harriers land. It'll make your heart do more than "pitter-patter" .

    I doubt THAT. It goes right through you like nothing. I can't recall for sure, but I believe it actually disrupts your heartbeat.

    I know you can forget hearing the wife you stood in line for an hour to talk to on the one phone when one lands.

    Abbey. I have to agree with Gunny on this one. It may sound romantic in a way, to hear that happening...at first. But Gunny and I both know, living on a ship, UNDER a flight deck, where AIR OPS take place almost 24/7 for six months or more...SOON gets pretty old, tiring, and SLEEPLESS. Especially when (As I Did) stand 12, or 8 hour watches that rotate every three days, giving you only a small window to actually get some sleep.

    Those Harriers Gunny spoke of....I remember as well aboard the USS Nassau, during Operation Desert Shield, and Desert Storm in 1990-91. We left Norfolk August 18, 1990, and the ship didn't get home until May of 1991.

    That video I posted is on a carrier that NEVER STOPS launching, and landing aircraft. The only difference between being there in person, and watching the video is....YOU CAN TURN OFF THE VOLUME.
    I miss going to sea, but I will never miss ENDLESS NOISE. Even when the aircraft stop...being around 5000 other people ALL THE TIME...isn't as nice as it looks.
    I love to make Liberals Cry, and Whine.
    So, this is for them.
