GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT.

SO. You want a new update? You want me to tell you how I'm doing? Yet you don't even bother to comment.... tch tch tch... And here I thought y'all weren't listening...


 Okay, so lets see. Friday the CMC took us (The new guys who had never been to a command before (Well, except Rogers, this was his second command, but he sneaked into it)) to Pearl and showed us some sights.
First was an early re-enlistment ceremony at the USS Missouri. It was the guys first Re-up, so it was something special for him so he chose to have it done here. The only person onboard the ship besides the CMC, us new guys, and a few other people from the command was the main tour guide, who showed us the spot on the deck where the Japanese surrendered.
 As you can see to the right I got a good shot of the spot with the USS Arizona Memorial off in the distance, as well as my shipmates walking off in their whites.

 Here is (From left to right) Harmon, Rodgers and Pope standing in front of one of the many murals of the small air museum on Ford Island not to far from the dive tower.
 Possibly my most favorite part of the museum was the floor.... No, seriously. You walk in and there's about 500 or so square feet of tile that looks like a photo copy of Pearl Harbor from Google Earth.
 To be honest I liked it the best because I felt like Godzilla walking on it. ^^

Just a few doodads of pictures...

P-51. I couldn't believe it was flying, I mean, the engines not even on! AND its indoors! GEE-WILLIKERS, MISTER!
One of the pilots here looked like he had dropped his ice cream.
That maintainer is NOT wearing his PPE.



THIS IS MY BIKE. THERE ARE MANY LIKE IT BUT THIS IS ONE IS MY OWN...
Hawaii is so cheap on Air Conditioning. Not even the vending machines are chilled. No, MCBH! I do NOT want a 99.9*f Root Beer!

 Okay, prepare your eyes for the most tattered, terrible photo composure ever. 

This is the place where I got to dive. As you can see to my left is my bike and to my right are my fins, snorkel and mask, and I'm wearing my dive shoes and my suavin new green swim trunks. I went out about as far as three times the distance to those rocks (Including the distance to the rocks. So if you took the distance TO the rocks, then continued FROM the rocks mothing OUTWARD then I would of moved TWICE the distance as I did when I went TO the rocks (Sorry, but I had to explain that more to myself than to you.))

Before I took this picture I had a conversation with myself.
"Oh, what? Yea, thats right, I snorkel. Why? Oh, well, its fun, recreational, I get to see some fishies and get in touch with nature and its a great way to stay in shape. What? You want to know how I got here? Well, I took my bike. Its cheap and economical and gets me places, sure I'm limited to distance, but it has its benifits and its really a great way to stay in shape. OH! You meant how did I get to Hawaii? Well I joined the Navy. I was at a cross roads in my life and I knew I had to make a choice so I decided to serve my country. Its very rewarding and gives me allot of hard work and its a great way to stay in shape. What do I do in the navy, you ask? Well I'm an aircraft maintainer. I work on hydraulics and airframes, its a very good experiance since I want to get into aviation and its really a great way to stay in shape. Is it dangerous, you ask? Well theres some hazards such as being run over in an aircraft move, plus the chance of a droop stop giving out and letting the rotor blade come down and decapitate you, plus copper burrillium, but its still a great way to stay in shape. Whats coppoer burrilium? Well its a metal that is known in the state of California to cause cancer, and its a great way to stay in shape. "
