New job is sweet + jet porn
 

I started my new job. My first at-sea period on the Nimitz... starting to get my qual's. So far, so good on the shooter thing. Food is marginal, hot water is suspect, but the crew is the best I've ever seen. We were out 10 days and it went by quick... fun!

I was wondering why you disappeared for a while:)

This is Hustler, requesting a fly-by.

you are negative for a fly by hustler.

zoooooooooooooooooooooooooooom!

great balls of fire!


(lol)

There are few things in life as exhilarating as watching the wing of a jet fighter zoom by wile being launched off the catapult. I was fortunate to experience that twice in the early 90s wile visiting CVN 69. A mach 1.2 flyby at deck level will also get the blood moving.

Woah...:crx:

::spills coffee:: goddamn it, that's twice! I want some butts!

remember, no points for second place.

You're a lot brighter than you look.

Samnavy...are you an "E" or an "O"?

thats right I AM dangerous...(chatters teeth)

The Defense Department regrets to inform you that your sons are dead because they were stupid.

In the navy, you can sail the seven seas, in the navy......

Nice. That's a quality job to have in the service. Hell of a lot better than grunting it out. A guy can get killed in those land based jobs!

Queer white outfits FTW!

What's the plan? You gonna retire there, move to the coast guard and double dip on the Gov't retirement?

LT, will roll over 9yrs in June... screen for LCDR in April and will probably put that one this time next year.

Great pics Sam. For those of us who aren't around it daily, the first three looked 'shopped.:giggle:

I was on a "family day cruise" and I was amazing seeing those jets take off and land! The supersonic Fly-bys were CRAZY!

My buddy is a LT on the Nimitz as well. Small world. We moved from San Diego to Jacksonville a few years back. SD is a great town, just wish it was cheaper.

Sweet!
Wasn't there a movie about the Nimitz in the early 80's or so? Something about going back in time to WWII and they had a chance to stop the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor?

There was, and i think the name was "The Final Countdown"

Yeah, The Final Countdown. It's a bit cheesy but it's a fun movie. There's a cool scene where two F14's come up on a yacht fast and low and scare the crap out of the folks on board who have never seen a jet.

Yeah, that's it, The Final Countdown. I couldn't remember the name or if it was even the Nimitz. It wasn't bad for back in the day, but now, agreed it has some cheese to it. Cooler than the F14's doing the flyby over the yacht was when they were toying with the Zeros that just shot up the yacht.

I remember that one, hadn't seen it in YEARS. God damn that is some good cheese.
