Oh, and if you need ideas on how to spend money, ebay always come through in the clutch |
The thought has definately crossed my mind, and the bomb elevators are definately big enough to put a car on to bring down to the magazines. lol.
The coolest thing to see actually arent the jets. There the e2s and the c130s. When you watch them from the bridge locking into the cat, all you can think is, "theres no way that big ass cinderblock is going to take off." but sure enough, it does.
As far as ebay goes, it rarely works out to sea. One of the other guys in my shop said it best this morning.
"Our internet situation doesn't do much to instill my faith in the ability be mission ready. You learn to walk before you run. How do we expect to launch jets if we can't even launch google?"
It's a bit of an exageration, but the navy really is controlled, organized chaos, especially on a carrier.
