Yellow indeed. I am working in the hanger (Bay 3) for this tour and hopefully the next ship will take me back topside. [-o<

If I was a yellowshirt I would wanna be up top where the action is too. Hangar bay is all about precision parking of aircraft and topside is mostly about launch recovery. I was a white shirt up top - final checker/troubleshooter on prowlers...

fun.

It's cool the small world that we live in. I was stationed on the rock working out of the air ops facilities before this ship.
I am going to miss the prowlers when they are gone. there is no other experience like standing next to a prowler in tension or in your case under and having that teeth rattling, filling destroying, ear ringing, feeling from that experience.
Cheers

Yup... Then you know exactly what I mean... I know it's permanent ringing in the ears from that job, but you can say you did it.

You can say you slid down the non-skid pushed by the exhaust of one of the most powerful jet blasts...

But back to the topic, I joined out of Lynnwood recruiting station and swore in at Seattle MAPS, went in to "see the world" and made it all the way to whidbey island. VAQ-129 and VAQ-140.

Sounds great for this summer. I gotta alot of things going on at work so I figure the mid to late July would do and if others want to come they can plan for it as well.
