"I wish to speak with my Lawyer before I make any statements."

"Why would I call the police...no-one else knows you're here." The old story of the 3 S's - Shoot Shovel Shut-up.

Speaks truth about helicopters....wow. GJ.

HMS Puncher has sailed - she's done her maiden voyage, and is now very close to being complete. In terms of what's left to do, here's my list of bits/things that remain: 20mm guns paint/install 40mm guns paint/install Barracuda decals Barracuda wings glued on Barracuda Clear coat seal Hull...

7 Deck is standing on the bottom of the SONAR Transducer Dome - below the keel. Been there, done that.

Another picture with one of the 'rif-raff' that showed up to watch.

For reference, the space I'm in is literally right on the keel - the round fitting by my left knee is the port Doppler speed log transducer. Here's the outside view.

It was something that I asked (not forced) my junior sailors to do with me when the space was open and being worked in. Few got to the very bottom. It is a distinctly uncomfortable space to work in. As for the mast? I've worked the SG-180 platform level many times including working on a...

As a CSE guy, I was everywhere on a ship just to work on my gear. I made it a point on every ship I was on to get into every space at some point. I did not enter tanks, however I've been everywhere else. HMS work happening? Down through the SONAR trunk into the canoe - literally standing...

CSE Chief plus the Comm Techs....and if you've got Secret Squirrels aboard...

We're having trouble crewing the ships we have, let alone a BHS of any sort.

I'll be on the ground. NS

Bit of a commute....LOL

Where is that one being run? In case I need to ask for a spot for one of my troops.... ;-)

Have to modify my chart to add that one in... The good news is that the audio-visual auto alert fuses come in multiple amperages.

The impact of this is minimal for a University Student who's got a full 4 months to devote to the Army - they can do BMQ in May/June, then roll straight into a DP1 and be fully qualified in a single summer. For a High School student, if they're only able to commit to 2 months (Jul/Aug) then in...

Mental resilience is very important. Find ways to tell yourself GOOD things, not bad. In our society, we spend a lot of time focusing on the negative, not the positive, and that tends to wear you down. Find a 'better way' to shape your own internal monologue. Instead of saying "gee, this...
