First I'll need some bulkhead remover so I can trade it for a can of relative bearing grease.

We got a new guy after being out for 5 months without a single port call, he worked in the shop about 2 days and seemed like a good chap... We sent him for (since we worked with communications gear) a repaired portable ASH receiver.... We tracked him to two shops and then he was gone for hours without anyone seeing him anywhere.... When he came back he had one of the metal ash trays (for cigarettes) with wires and lights soldered all over it - was the funniest thing anyone ever did in all those years.... We even had several noobs convinced that we had a bowling alley on the carrier, but it was E5 and above only.... Used a hydraulic leveling system to account for the ships motion..... -- You can't trust your best friends, your five senses, only the little voice inside you that most civilians don't even hear -- Listen to that.

Ici! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQ-Iv9Js-1I&NR=1 This is better than any other clip I could find in English! Very similar to how we operated in the Royal Navy when I served on HMS Ark Royal 1972-1974. One day on 'Daily Orders' we posted a request for a "Deadload Pilot" and had at least half a dozen volunteers. The steam catapult was tested in harbour by 'firing' a very heavy hunk of metal called a 'deadload' (with wheels, IIRC) - about the size of a tank - off the front end of the ship All potential pilots were mustered on the flight deck, where they were confronted by the 'dead load' - upon which had been tied an ordinary looking tubular steel naval dining chair. The whole affair was fired into the ocean whilst they watched in awe. It was a *big* splash! The question was then posed: "Right guys, who is going to be the first to sit in the chair?" In a flash, all the potential 'pilots' disappeared! ;-)

Was that simply because you didn't understand French? There really is no need to feel ashamed. :) -- Dave |
