I am glad to see that the MCPON, in his great wisdom, has accepted your friends request! My Sailor was notified Friday that he will be doing his Prototype in NY. He seems very pleased with it.
I LOVE MY JOB . . . . . .
If you don't laugh out loud after you read this you are in a
coma! This is even funnier when you realize it's real! Next time you
have a bad day at work think of this guy.
Rob is a commercial saturation diver for Global Divers in
Louisiana... He performs underwater repairs on offshore drilling rigs.
Below is an E-mail he sent to his sister. She then sent it to radio
station 103.2 on FM dial in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, who was sponsoring a
worst job experience contest.
Needless to say, she won.
Hi Sue,
Just another note from your bottom-dwelling brother. Last week I
had a bad day at the office. I know you've been feeling down lately at
work, so I thought I would share my dilemma with you to make you
realize it's not so bad after all. Before I can tell you what happened
to me, I first must bore you with a few technicalities of my job.
As you know, my office lies at the bottom of the sea. I wear a
suit to the office. It's a wet suit. This time of year the water is
quite cool. So what we do to keep warm is this: We have a diesel
powered industrial water heater. This $20,000 piece of equipment sucks
the water out of the sea. It heats it to a delightful temperature.
It then pumps it down to the diver through a garden hose,
which is taped to the air hose. Now this sounds like a darn good plan,
and I've used it several times with no complaints.
What I do, when I get to the bottom and start working, is take
the hose and stuff it down the back of my wet suit. This floods my
whole suit with warm water. It's like working in a Jacuzzi.
Everything was going well until all of a sudden, my butt
started to itch. So, of course, I scratched it. This only made things
worse. Within a few seconds my butt started to burn. I pulled the hose
out from my back, but the damage was done. In agony I realized what
had happened.
The hot water machine had sucked up a jellyfish and pumped it
into my suit. Now, since I don't have any hair on my back, the
jellyfish couldn't stick to it. However, the crack of my butt was not
as fortunate.
When I scratched what I thought was an itch, I was actually
grinding the jellyfish into the crack of my butt.
I informed the dive supervisor of my dilemma over the
communicator. His instructions were unclear due to the fact that he,
along with five other divers, were all laughing hysterically.
Needless to say I aborted the dive. I was instructed to make
three agonizing in-water decompression stops totaling thirty-five
minutes before I could reach the surface to begin my chamber dry
decompression. When I arrived at the surface, I was wearing nothing but
my brass helmet. As I climbed out of the water, the medic, with tears
of laughter running down his face, handed me a tube of cream and told
me to rub it on my butt as soon as I got in the chamber.
The cream put the fire out, but I couldn't poop for two days
because my butt was swollen shut.
So, next time you're having a bad day at work, think about how
much worse it would be if you had a jellyfish shoved up your butt.
Now repeat to yourself, "I love my job, I love my job, I love my
job."
Now whenever you have a bad day, ask yourself, is this a
jellyfish bad day?
May you NEVER have a jellyfish bad day!!!!!
Yes, that was me that gave y'all a "used book", as my kids call them! They always make fun of me but I love old books, and I'm glad that y'all do, too!
Our son, Jim, is stationed in Huntingdon at RAF Molesworth. He likes to go to London sometimes on the weekends. He's found that he really likes the English countryside, too. He knows that he is very fortunate to get such good duty and is really enjoying his time there. Ellen
My mom told me a story one time that an officer would hand her these messages daily to take across the base to another officer. So she would get on her bicycle and peddle her way across the base. They wore only skirts in those days, at least at that job. Anyway come to find out they would get peeks at her thighs and that is why they continuiously sent her back and forth with the ruse of an important message. Said she had great gams. Well once my mother figured this out...... she got on her bike and peddled her way home right off the base. with the important documents and all. Come to find out they WERE important documents that he was to hand deliver himself. He got in trouble ..... and my mom well she got a good talking to and lost her job as the message runner. LOL LOL LOL
You were a Seabee ? And a electrician at that !! Ok thats way cool :) We just did a 4th of July party for a group of 129 Seabees in Afghanistan. Almost everyone I know in the navy now, or prior Navy says that Seabee is really one of the best rates. The way I hear it -the Seabee's are a very tight nit bunch to belong to. And we all know part of the awesome factor is the comraderie & brotherhood one feels. I fought wildfires for 9 years and though it was not military --they try to run it like it is when at work. And its true you get this bond like no other for your crew. To this day I hold my crew near and dear to my heart. So your Mom was in the Army Nurse Corp --and your Aunt a WAVE :)Anytime anyone would tell my mom thank you for your service -- she would fluff it off and say "we just fought the battle of San Diego--but we won" LOL LOL She was a funny gal. She was so proud when she found out her grandson was joining. She passed one month to the day before he left for boot camp. BUT she knew :)
The picture is of my moms womens navy boot camp booklet !! LOL
Cute huh ? I have many wonderful WWII things my parents saved and now are passed to me :)
