It was in refit mode, so it was more of an industrial area than a real warship. Not as bad as the JFK though. That thing was a mess. The CG was all ready to go though.

Heh.

The reason I asked was because I recently got a tour of one (The Wyoming, in case you care), and I was impressed. It is one of the things on the top of my list O' stuff to do when I join the Navy.

Holy crap you get to hold guns and fly planes and look at giagantic cannons and stuff. I wish I got to touch--much less view--weapons capable of slaughtering millions of innocents in a world-wide campaign of conquest!! Speaking of which....We might need a couple of Navy cruisers for that thing...that we do...ya know...*hands RI a gridfire rifle* Go ahead and grab us a couple...

Eh em...and CONGRATS!!!

Memories of the Cole perhaps?

I know, in high school, you could joke about shit, like "I got wounded in the Nam" and stuff like that. You just don't do that anymore, however. This is probably one of those cases.

And rogueice,

You still haven't told us whether you're the cowboy or the construction worker. Or are you the biker.

*ahem*

Thanks to the Marine Security Force at Kings Bay NAVSUBBASE )or whatever it was), I know how to use an M16 w/M203 grenade launcher. Careful with the jokes, pal.

Careful, there's always a bigger fish, or in this case, a bigger snake...

Was it its major refit or just its patrol refit?

Did you happen to see an MT1 Padilla on board? One of my fellow shipmates from my days aboard the the "Stoney J"

Theres also an ensign (or maybe junior LT if he's still aboard) Nowalk that I went thru BESS and "A" school with. He was a former ET that went officer.

Rogue Ice is correct, not funny pal. My Workcenter supervisor was on the Cole, his torso looks frankensteinesque.

The Cole was hit by Christian fundie terrorists?

Learn something new everyday.

No, Muslims. But it's still not something to joke about.

Not sure...looked pretty major to me. They had duct work and crap all torn up all over the place. I think they may've been getting ready to go on patrol though...they mentioned loaded missle tubes.

As to your shipmates, no, sorry. I was led around by a PO2 (I can't remember the rating offhand, but he worked in the Missle Control doohickey around the silos themselves). Maybe one of the other squads was, but I didn't catch their names; they had some First Classes as guides.
