bungy 2 Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 As many will already know i'm away doing my bit for Queen and country. We've been exercising with the USS Enterprise, which is the one in Top Gun. Loads of aircraft to test us out.But it hasn't all been work and no play. Soaring temperatures and yet empty beaches as far as the eye can see.I love my job.... Link to post Share on other sites

Driving about has been fun, surfing and drinking awesome, getting kicked out of a bar the other night not so good. Baby oil and dog tags are part of daily life. Link to post Share on other sites

It carries so much aviation fuel that the fuel alone is heavier than us. It's only running on 6 of it's original 8 reactors which is scarey enough. Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe that's why they train the best engineers in the world to fixem. Link to post Share on other sites
