Wish me luck, everyone. Heading to Camp Victory, Iraq. If I see any broken UPUDs, I'll probably be rated to fix it... That's my job, after all: Radio repair. . . . .    I guess the UPUD fits in there, somewhere.

Until I return, keep the treads rolling!

Here is some advice TP, try not to do anything stupid on  New Year's Eve parties, my dad was in the Navy and boy do I have a story to tell you.

My dad and his buddy were on the Saratoga's flight deck during the rearming period and my dad got a flashing light from the flight deck (On the Saratoga's flight deck near the edge there were little flashing lights in case a person fell off, he could easily grab one, Eric might know what I mean, after all he was a squid) any way, my dad threw the light into the waves. Now the waves that night were maybe 25 feet and there were anti sub helicopters flying around the ship to look out for people as well as enemy subs. Well the helicopter thought that a person fell in and as the helicopter came down on the light, a massive wave flipped it! My dad and his buddy went back inside and General Quarters was sounded. That was the new year 1971.

So, TP don't do anything stupid.
