Hi - Just found the site, any exNavy types out there?

MIRCS · 07-27-2004 -- 17:37:05

Oh Yeah Charlie.....ex IM2 myself stuck in the PMEL world right now.

Old-Navy · 07-28-2004 -- 07:51:34

Welcome Charlie. Retired IM1... trapped in New Mexico at the moment.

MIRCS · 07-28-2004 -- 17:38:59

IM1....you got any new (old) rate training manuals for IM3-IMC. I have a very old one.....from the late 50's. It has been helpful for the ET minded people on how things can be fixed. Though too much on watch/clock and office machines in it. I had them on CD at one time and have seemed to misplace it. Also if the ET minded people there want I have the current complete set of NEETS modules. can burn it and send it to ya.

Rate Training Manuals? All I have left is a 20 year old copy of the QAL-2. Wish I still had an IM 3&2...

MIRCS · 07-29-2004 -- 14:29:34

Yeah I wish I had a newer IM 3&2 than this one from the 50's.

i was a FSA on the Prarire, also a MIRCS tech, I was a San tank diver on the McKee, also a 107 worker(that really sucked), also dove th San tanks for a living in bangor at TRF. I also was a onsite mofo on the Cape Cod on it's last west pac. I hope the IC men enjoy that job of diving tanks now...........it sucked, especially San 7 and San 3......and don't forget AMR#2, ot the SSTG Sump tanks(that one truly sucked) on the boomers.

IMC,

Did you know Al Hagar in Charleston?

MIRCS · 08-05-2004 -- 20:49:19

IM1,
whatcha think if the USAF got some hydralic panels?

Old-Navy · 08-06-2004 -- 07:55:34

Hmmm... Hydraulic panels... Nahhhhhh... better leave that one to the Stone Age..

Old-Navy · 08-06-2004 -- 07:59:07

Ahhh.. San Tanks... "brown trouts".... the joy.
I remember my first ship, USS Fulton. IM1 Charlie Carlson sent me to medical for my shots, then the suited me up and dropped me down (I weighed 150 lbs at the time) into the tank on a Fast Attack.. USS Trepang. I went on the Baskin Robbins diet after that day and ballooned up to a nice 185.. couldn't fit through the holes anymore... and my San Tank days were over..

MIRCS · 08-06-2004 -- 08:24:02

San Tank #1&3 on the USS Jefferson City, that was my first diving. They were both located in the Torpedo room. Wasn't too bad unless they were loading or had a full load already in there. There was another on the Pogy or one of the other 637 boats that was under a bottom rack in one of the berthing areas.......still haven't figured out how to i got into that one. And I dove my first one at 190 lbs....I tried that diet thing too...........didn't work.
