Most of you know that I'm currently deployed overseas with my ship. I'm supposed to be here for a total of 6 months but luck struck and I will be transfering to shore back to homeport. I was gone for just a little over 2 months and a month of that spent in Rota, Spain while recoverring after an eye injury.

Two weeks ago, I was in Sigonella Sicily. That was about my third time there in the past 3 years. Mt. Etna still looks great as always.....

Then last week, we stopped by Split, Croatia. Beautiful place and has the pretiest women I have ever seen in one place. They like Americans and the women to men ratio is like 6-1. The only problem is, they are mostly between 14-18 yrs old.... and at times, it was hard to tell who is who.... I had to stay away from alcohol to avoid any stupidity on my side. Plus, I really love the person I'm involved right now.

I took a tour bus sponsored by my ship to Dubrovnik, Croatia. Another great place full of history. It was a 4 hour ride one way. The day ride was amazing and full of scenic views of the adriatic sea and territorial islands of Croatia. It was a 4 hour ride of nothing but mountain passes and narrow roads. These roads are so scrary that I wouldnt even dare race on it. I sat on the front seat of a 50 man bus just to study the roads. It was waayyy too unpredictable to haul ass....... pics later......

On the way to Dubrovnik, we had to cross a small town in Bosnia. We stopped there for a little and had talked to locals. I thought they were really nice and not as anti-american as some might think.

Now I'm back floating around the ocean on the way to our next port. I cant mention our destination. All I can say is that I'll be flying home next. It's time to move on. I have been stationed on this ship for the past 4 yrs and 3 months. I will be taking duties as a Shipboard Engineering Inspector and Trainer on shore. I will still be going to ships but not to work on it, but rather as an inspector..... This should be a more relaxed duty. I should be able to spend more time on continuing the project Teg.......

GT40FIED · 02-01-2006, 09:56 PM

Hey Arnel, you think I could...errr...."borrow" one of those GTEs? Let's just say I've got some things planned.

Glad to hear your coming back man.

thermal · 02-03-2006, 10:52 AM

Shit bro, I wish I have one of those GTE's in my garage. I'd be strapping that focker on my Honda. Maybe then I can satisfy my urge to go faster....lol

IALuder · 02-03-2006, 11:08 AM

dabouncerx24 · 02-05-2006, 11:37 PM

Nice man!! Can't wait!

Violent Apathy · 02-06-2006, 02:48 AM

Yeah, the military's great for seeing the world eh? I'm on an all expense paid trip to the desert right now, I shoulda joined the navy haha.

thermal · 02-06-2006, 08:11 PM

That is the only advantage Navy has. We dont ever set foot on sand and have bullets flying across our asses. We fight the war from a distance......

Welcome home, thanks for serving.

Ever work on/around an active carrier?

thermal · 02-07-2006, 11:34 PM

My Naval job description keeps me away from the carrier. I've been on one just to walk around but never as an actual crew member. Being a Gas Turbine Tech (Propulsion) pretty much limits me to Cruisers, Destroyers, and Frigates. It's funny tho. We sometimes get crew members that used to be on a carrier. They get sea sick.....
