I remember being on the berthing barge in Yokosuka during dry dock. Nothing better than to live somewhere shittier than the ship, but hey at least those hot coffee machines were around.

I'm at work but I have lots of dumb pictures from one of the two drydocks I remember.

Thats a nice way of saying that your department wants to "save" money by having your division re PRC the p-way, grind up the deck in the torp storage and re-nonskid it, and going into the sonar dome. I remember once after a heavy storm I went down the dome access trunk and it was flooded with live wires just hanging out in there.

Edit: That reminds me when they said we needed to replace almost half of the amplifiers down in sonar 2. I think each one was exchange only and still cost like 10k a peice.

Or the time the 53 techs couldn't figure out why their main cabinet kept burning out a specific card. Me, the mk116 tech, decided to look at it and it was just the cabinet missing a phase. When I finally was able to get the duty EM we found a distribution panel that was charred inside. Never burnt out that stupid 5000 dollar card after that.

On another note, I remember going to the dive locker to get the qualified (to enter the dome when it was pressurized with air) and VT was with us. The dive master kept reminding VT that he was gay.

So I was looking into applying for a position at a applied research lab doing signal processing (john hopkins or arlut) so should I try to contact my old chiefs and see if I can get some letters of recommendation?

WOOPS.


I emailed one but can't find the other chief. I contemplated on emailing the first chief that was on the boat but he is kind of crazy.

He responded pretty quickly and said he was going to make some phone calls.
