Sailor Returned from the Sea

Just got back from the most ardious sea assignment ever (4 whole days.... :blush: ). I rode the USS Carl Vinson from Bremerton WA down to San Diego. Wow... what a ride. It was my first time at sea....and I loved it. Missed you guys though :) Wasn't much on sleeping in those little tiny ass racks however. Working out when a ship is in 20 ft seas, even a ship as big as an aircraft carrier is a challenge. Ship rolling...trying to balance the dumbells. Don't think I would be brave enough to try free squats when that was going on.

It was all good.

Bama....I read your post about trying to get busy with me at my desk...lol. You missed your chance Buddy.


Well.................gotta get the day going.

Check with you later.....

C.B.

Sounds like a cool adventure

**** you were down in So Cal and you didn't let the So cal boys know. Next time shoot me a PM so me and maybe Butch can show you around.

That would be nice. I actually lived there for 3 yrs but it would be nice to meet up with some people from the board and get in some trouble ;-). I was actually only there Thurs nite and then flew back yesterday. I had to be back today for the first in a series of interviews for the Police Academy. So far.. so good. ;-)

It was an awesome experience. You really can't understand what those guys go through when assigned to a ship until you experience it in person. Lines to shower, eat, and smoke. Try sleeping in a space that is around 12 inches high and around 6.5 feet long...if that. I couldn't even turn over without my shoulder hitting the top of the rack....I'm only 5'1 and the rack felt very small.

After 18 years in the Navy....I finally got to experience it. Wish I had done it sooner.

c.b. do you have thoes urges that sailors have after getting back from sea? if you do i'll volunteer my self and take one for the team.. :banana:

LOL Elliot.....Yes, I sure did.... and I took care of it already...but thanks for volunteering.

im always to late :( bouncer this does not apply to you so please stop pm'ing me @#@

LOL Sorry Maybe next time......

Police academy cool you can keep me and Butch out of jail when you come then :) Just playing about me but I don't know about Butch. Good luck with your interviews and call me when they issue you hand cuffs ;)

It was nice. I wish I could have stayed on and experienced the squadron arriving. Maybe someday I will get a chance to go back again. We had 20 ft seas on the trip for the first day or so....but I loved the feeling of the ship rocking.

PIG :dg:

Ahh Geez, I can't resist this....

The mighty USS Carl Vinson was hit three times...let's just say that again THREE times buy our own HMAS Onslow at Rimpac jsut a few years ago.

BTW Onslow was a 30 something year old submarine, crewed by a group of Aussies!!!

No wonder you yanks are so happy when we join in the fight!!!

CB.... I knew ya'd have fun on the carrier. Now you know why I used to bitch and whine when I had to be out at sea longer than 2 weeks.... worst was when my Team would have to go by sub....to bad ya missed the squadron coming in... I swear it's a rush just watching them boys land and take off. Glad to have ya back darlin...

That's badass. My best friend was stationed on the Carl S. Vinson for a couple of years out of Washington. He's a civilian now, but that was his boat. Small world. RR

Small world but a big ass boat ;-).

Hey.....it is good to be back. More than a week and I would have been eating furniture. Man the food sucked. Even in the CPO mess the food sucked. Only meal I really ate well at was breakfast.

I don't think I could do a sub. Too small for me. I had a hard enough time with the rack.

Good to be back to AR.

Not comfortably...that if for sure!

I was on a US carrier in 2001 for about six weeks.
It was hell on earth, every morning they were waking people up with YMCA, or singing in the Navy!

I even ordered my men to shower by bricks of 5, one shower, 4 were armed and guarded him!

:D
