So I was honorably discharged today!!!!

[slowyellow]

Fuck that. I wouldn't get on anything that sank on purpose!

It's a hell of a lot better than something that sinks on accident!

[racrguy]

That's why you stick with submarines! It's a cool 4 ft drop off of a fast boat. You just have to swim like hell to get out of the way of the screw!

Thanks man, and it's an honor.

I'll hit 10 years this June. My current contract is up in April of 2015. Only seems like yesterday I was on those yellow footprints.

LMFAO, cooks aren't known for being smart. (says the a-ganger) We had one put coconut on the lasagna like it was the cheese.

Lmao!! Same guy was named "biscuit" because he couldn't spell it.

We had a cook jump in at a steel beach (swim call) and didn't know it was salt water....

Imagine hitting the water after having to bail off of the flight deck at around 100 ft or so above the surface. (for a carrier)

At that distance you'll build up some velocity....


You'll get cold quick in the north atlantic....

The guy we had blown overboard went off in Dec. They had him on the Helo in 13 minutes but he was still cold as hell. He basically face planted, two black eyes a puffy face and his cranial damm near ripped his ear off.

I suppose that it's a good thing that you only have to worry about that about .01% of the time you are on the boat.

I suppose you're right.

[slowyellow]

Fuck that, talk about an anxiety attack!

They're that high off the water? Damn. Yeah I can see how it'd be bad now. Thanks for the info

Why wouldn't you inflate it before?

Imagine hitting the water after having to bail off of the flight deck at around 100 ft or so above the surface. (for a carrier)

At that distance you'll build up some velocity....

The resuts when you hit the water will not be pleasant if your float coat is inflated as it will want to stay at the surface and your body will want to keep going with the momentum.

Jump first... hit the water... pull the lanyard.... and you'll pop right back up to the surface.

The dye should deploy automatically, turn on the strobe, use your whistle, wave frantically like a madman and hope like hell someone saw you go over....

You'll get cold quick in the north atlantic....
