As some of you may know, I'm active duty Navy and have been on limited duty status for about as long as I've been on the team. A couple of knee surgeries and some recovery time later I'll be going back to a boat. Need to finish 2 more years of sea time before I'm up again for shore duty. And after that comes retirement :good:

As a sea going Submariner I won't have as much time as I've had to check the forums, let alone bench. I'll be in family, work, work, work, family mode again. Think its time for me to pull my head out of my arse and make Chief on this last sea tour, which will take up most of my time free.

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up. I'm not leaving the team (the thought never even crossed my mind duders ;)), just won't be around as much after September. I'll pop my head in as frequent as I can for sure but it is time for me to concentrate on my career again.

USS Ogden collision
27 January 2002, less than a year after colliding with Ehime Maru and five months after running aground, Greeneville collided with USS Ogden (LPD-5) during a personnel transfer off the coast of Oman, opening a 5 by 18 inch (130 by 460 mm) hole in one of Ogden's fuel tanks and spilling several thousand gallons of fuel. After the collision, both vessels left the area under their own power.

It is called breaking the seal. Once you allow your self to pee you will pee every beer. I will tell my son that in another 2 years)

Well we are Irish not Chinese. So it happens about 6 beers in not 2 or 3. (Larger bodies generally). Not race specific. As Japanese sumo can probably drink more beers than me with out peeing. Of course they wear diapers so it s a moot contest.
:ohcrap:

Hey I just found out my "native American" genealogy is not a one timer but actually my dads parents are mostly munsee indian. Guess that is why I preffered the 12" mohawk over the stupikd "pussy hawk" most jocks adorn. (munsees became Mohicans arch rival of the mohawks. And contrary to popular modern fashion, a mohawk shaves the center of his head)

Suppsedly that means I pee after the first beer. If you believe the scientists are not stereotyping.

On deployment again. So far hit Guam for 3 weeks and currently in Korea. Pulled into Jinhae, aka Chinhae. Made the 5 hour trip and took the 300 kph bullet train to Seoul. Worth every penny. Listening to Daft Punk and sipping Soju at 7am in the morning. About to go explore some traditional buildings here the heading back across the country to the Navy base. Really want slap my nuts on the DMZ but just don't have the time this trip.

3 more months and I'll be back home in HI.

Enjoy your culture points a lot. Free world travel, just pay tourist taxes. Too many sea bags in my rack what with getting married and having kids first tour, I wish I had stayed in longer. The US government was happy to be rid of me though, I wasn't as 4.0 as they liked, or I failed the TSSCI test not sure which. Would have assumed the latter but they gave me secret...after talking to all the wrong people who remembered me and the right people who didn't :)

Hello all,

Got back from my second deployment with Greeneville a few weeks ago. Things went very well. Warheads on foreheads and all that good stuff.

Back in the first post on this thread in 2011 I quote myself.

As a sea going Submariner I won't have as much time as I've had to check the forums, let alone bench. I'll be in family, work, work, work, family mode again. Think its time for me to pull my head out of my arse and make Chief on this last sea tour, which will take up most of my time free.

Well my time finally came.

I'm very happy to be back. Only a few short months left on this sea tour. Looks like we will be staying here on Oahu for my final shore tour. Couldn't think of a better place in the world.

Chief OCM :thumbsup:
