Title: working my day off Post by: Cokemachinesandmore on December 05, 2010, 11:24:57 am I am normally off weekends, took me 16 years to get weekends off. I have to take a day off during the week so I had to switch it with today. You would think i would have not been out in the gin mill till 4 am knowing I had to be at work at 7am. key word you would think LOL :happydrinkers: :darn: :upside:

I'm an MAC(SW). In a former life, I was a Sonar Technician (Surface) and did all my time on OHP Class Frigate's. Speaking of P-3's, I grew up right next to NAS Moffet in Sunnyvale, CA which among other things, used to be a HUGE P-3C base. We lived right in the flight pattern so as a kid I had the sound of those (4) turboprops ingrained into my brain. 18 years later when I joined the Navy I had the opportunity to work with P-3C's as a shipboard Sonar Tech while searching for and prosecuting ASW threats. Flash forward 10 years and I found myself working on Signal Processors aboard P-3C's as a NAVSEA civilian Technical Rep. Funny how some things stay so constant in your life.....Even if it is just an aircraft!!!!! |
