Enjoy! It'll take some time to break the NAV routine. Being ex Navy myself I find BEZ06 list more than true. In addition to #28 might add; Try sleeping when they're bouncing 6,000 lbs pallets of bombs off the steel deck 2 feet above your head. Former AE sailor.

Thanks for your service.

Your so lucky to have the inter net on board. When I was in the Navy and on a carrier there was no inter net. Our mail would chase us from port to port and sometimes we would get it when we returned to home port. Once in Hong Kong I called home. I went to a telephone exchange and paid the price and waited until there was an available line. No TV of course but we did have movies on the hanger deck.

Those were the good old days.

Congrats on you "retirement," and thank you for your service from a fellow Vette owner, and employee of a major Navy "equipment" supplier.
