You wouldn't believe how many bathrooms there are on an aircraft carrier. Of course, as Chief Engineer, it was me who got the call when one of them had a problem. Yes, the food was almost always pretty good, but what really kept me in was that they kept promising me helicopter rides. Rick

When I finally had enjoyed all of South East Asia that I could stand the company decided that since I was the longest term guy there that they would throw me a going away party. They traded some Navy guy a helicopter ride for six cases of frozen steaks for the party. We NEVER had steaks. It was great.

Of course we used my Chinook for the ride. And at my request it was a very bumpy ride. :coolgrin:

Great pic man. Me, 1976 was the year I was born. Great year. 200th birthday of this great country and I got to celebrate the 200th birthday as I turned four days old on July 4th, 1976. Needless to say, I spent the entire year drinking, heavily. : )

Man all these old timers out here. (08-08-76) 1976 year of the best the was, is, and every will be.
 
Old timers???
