Yes the cargo winch can break your wrist when the AO's don't do their job right.





My new cast, No I didn't mean to flip the camera off. lol

No, no cats on an LHD ship. I am an Aviation Electronics Technician on an MH-53 Sea Dragon. I'm not attached to the ship at all. It was just the ship our birds went out to for an excercise with the Panamanian Navy.

 

Whats in the 'Welcome Aboard' package? anything good?

 

That's a Big Bird!!!

 

Nice pics. Jealous I never did it.


I went to all the recruiters in HS and said "Can I fly an A-10?" nope.

"F-16?" nope. "Apache?" nope. Go down the list. Bad eyesight.

Still nice to live vicariously through those who post their adventurous pics.

 

What ship is that? My buddy is a Command Master Chief on the Pelileau in San Diego. He took me on a tour of it last summer. Your pics look very familiar.

 

HooRah I got outa the Navy about a little over a year ago.. I never stepped foot on a ship though.. Except for a tour of a carrier when I was stationed at Souda Bay, Crete Greece. I was with the Seabeez and I miss the people alot.. I dont miss the PT and early morning musters and all that!
