Then they were pussies. We didn't need no divers when we did that emergency blow thingy. We just figured if we screwed it up we would pay the price. Of course we couldn't tell the Coners(non-engineering dorks for those wondering) and we never let them know when we were nervous.
I know...but I was on an ASR. That's a sub rescue ship for those that don't know. And yes, you guys were pussies
Well paid? I think an E-nothing gets paid the same as another E-nothing at another command. However that extra $80 of divepay sure came in handy I got taped up my second day on board my ship
LOL! I was a nuke so I got the sub pay and the pro-pay plus and E-5 at a little over two years. BTW, it took them over a year to work up the courage to tape me... or maybe there just wasn't enough tape.
Taped on day 2 and stuffed in a repair locker on day 3...bastids. Once they realized I could dish it out as much as I could take it shit seemed to stop.
Dude, the Charms in MRE's rock. One of our techs here was a supply SGT at Ft. Jackson and he's got some hook ups to get "surplus" stuff
