Thanks bro, Pearl Harbor currently. You in?

I was, did 10 years as an AT (4 years), then CT for my last 6. Got out in 2000 and started contracting. Still working with the Navy at their Network Operating Center (NOC) in Norfolk and doing ship visits from time-to-time to help fix the networks onboard. I was last in Pearl about a year ago & went to the Paul Hamilton, Chung Hoon, & the PR NOC in Wahiawa.

Mannnn I actually wish I would've went CT, they got it EASY on a ship lol. Add in the fact their sea/shore rotation is way better than FCs. Gotta friend on the Chung Hoon though, that's cool, kinda what I'm trying to set up afterwards either contractor work or tech rep.

On behalf of everyone here, we would like to thank you and corner for your service. We wouldn't live in the unquestioned greatest country in the world without your willingness to sacrifice. Just know that there are so many people who appreciate what you've done for all of us.

I commend the service, I'm not American obviously but the USA isn't the greatest country in the World :/

I say it all the time, and I really mean it, kind words like these really make it worth it, thanks.

CTs really do have it easy on the ships. When I was in, at least on my ship, it was even easier than it is now. We skated out of so much stuff because of "operational commitments", which was usually a pretty intense game of spades or Madden on the playstation. I was on the Bonhomme Richard & we had around 20 people in our division. On deployment, we were never on the ship's watchbill. We broke down our division into 10 sections (2 people per section). When we pulled into a port, we stood a 12 hour watch in our spaces and then we were off the ship. We didn't have to stay on the ship the for the whole duty day and we never mustered with ship's force. Was awesome. I always stood the first watch as we pulled in, which usually ended up being from like noon-6pm by the time we moored and opened the brow and then I didn't have to be back on the ship, usually for the rest of the port visit, unless it was over 5 days. Made for a fun westpac.

When you do decide to get out, hit me up. My company hires a lot of former military to do contractor & tech rep work.
