While on Aircraft Carriers I would watch our escorts in heavy weather spending half their time under water. I always thought they should be getting at least partial submarine pay.

That was an old ship that probably should have been decommissioned before you were on it. Thank for the shout out, Semper FI to you also.

Huh....I guess that reinforces the view of USN/USMC status. While I was on the Chilton I worked down in the message center (teletype operator) and was amazed how nice their equipment was. Much better than what we had at HQ 2nd Division.

Sorry, I've slept a few times since then and don't recall the specifics other than they ran a lot smoother than what I was used to.
When we did field exercises we learned to use a very light touch on the keyboards. If the ground was damp you'd get a electrical tingle in your hands & arms if you hit the keys too hard.
