Cool Merv, I was a Damage Control/Hull Tech/Diver in the Navy for 4 yrs. Firefighting was crazy out at sea, especially with Delta fires (planes)...worst case scenario we'd dump em overboard.

Worst case scenerio..we surround and drown..
****'s got to get deep for that..
You Navy boys do some damn good work, I've worked with some of the See Bee's. They were suprised at the capabilities we have as well..not just the "Chair Force"..

I think we have one of the real jobs here..not your normal 7-4 office crap..

Information Systems Technician/ Delicate Materials Fork Lift Operator aka DMF.

I work with computers, but its nice to do mental pushups at work, instead of "anybody can do it" physical labor.
Although I love a good hard days work roofing, framing, or any type of carpentry.
