Sometimes have trouble breathing. And that's with the air blowing directly in my face. If the air is off, and it's night time (so I can't see out) I have to get up and go to the john. Heart starts pounding, breath comes fast, and I can't sit down any more.

I like to sit by the window, face to the glass, and have the A/C blow in my face.

Well you would have loved the flight from Soele Korea to NYC 17 hours. That was after a 3.5 hour flight from Beijing to Soule. Then a 4 hour lay over in Soule. They wouldnt let you open the window things all day. And fed you raw fish crap to eat. I finally fell asleep on the floor after 12 hours. They woke me up and told me I had to be in a seat. Couldnt fall back to sleep again. Nothing better than sitting in a seat for 17 hours looking at the guys head in front of you. Your basically up for 24 hours.
The way out was even better. NYC to Anchorage. Anchorage to Soule, Soule to Beijing, Beijing to Changsha China. Left Fri nite at 10PM. Arived Changsha China 830PM on Sun nite. 36 hours of travel with around 8 hours of layovers. Slept about 4 hours on that leg.

Hey Bama, like knowing that opening the door at 35,000 feet will kill you and feel bad enough to still do it? I know the feeling. That's why I've jumped out of most of the planes I've been in.

Good at night, bad in the morning. There are many men who claim they have never been to bed with an ugly women but sure have woke up with a few. I'll just bet there are female variations of this.

By the way, what gets a guy into this situation is knowing that the difference between a dog and a fox is a six-pack.

I drink tequila myself, Robin

OK Robin, but is that good or Bad?

GO ARMY!

[Where else can you be at sea in a hurricane and simply go deep enough it doesn't bother you?]

Sounds like a metaphor for some of the women I've dated.

I still think if you are in the Navy and have to go to sea, a sub is the way to go. It was the best pay, best food and best duty I had.

There is always the "muddy boot Navy", SEABEES!

No experience in being closed up like that. Personally I have to give anyone who can do sub duty a lot of credit. It would scare the hell out of me.

I worked with a retired Navy guy who had been a submariner. You absolutely could not rib him without his bettering you on anything Navy. He also told me that submarines are like penises because they go deep and are full of seamen.

I prefer the air to the water.

On the tour I took, they were telling us they sometimes have to go as long as 10 hours without running air scrubbers and cooling, when doing silent manuevers. I shiver just remembering how I shivered when the tour guide said that. Like I said, claustrophobia.

Bama, there is A/C on subs. And as for Robin's comment, I can only believe he speaks from experience. He may be violating the don't ask, don't tell rule.

Robin, that was cold and dirty man. But truly funny as well. I'd be ashamed of you if I wasn't grinning from ear to ear.

I've been on the U.S.S. Drum several times, and my claustrophobia kinda freaked me out, even though I had plenty of fresh air and we were not submerged. I don't know if I could deal with it at 300 feet, and no A/C.

Submariners, is that where 50 men go down and 25 couples come back up?

Bama has a lock on partof navy life, now add to this, walk into a sewer pipe and have the end sealed off for 3 months.
You're in the submarine navy now.

Great Laugh!

Bama, as an active duty Navy guy, I got a great laugh from this thread today!
Even though they are ALL good, i especially enjoyed #31 from this mornings evolution, reading the Plan of the Day.

Bravo Zulu!

Wouldn't take me cause I had hemoroids. Only wanted perfect A**holes.

Robin

My dad did 10 years in the Navy before I was born. When I turned 16 and began to talk about following his footsteps, he told me, "Son, with the attitude you have, somebody would kill you before you ever stepped aboard ship." I knew he was right, and never pursued it.

But, living in Pensacola most of my life, I know W-A-Y more than I ever wanted to about Navy life. I posted this here becuase I thought sure we had some old Navy guys hanging out at H-TK.
