Lol... now you're going to make my head swell... Anyway, I still remember you hounding me for sanding away too much of the silver on the contactors in the CHT pump room when we rebuilt it, and for putting the ship in the dark a few times... and a couple times I didn't get the bolts tight enough on motor connections...lol...
But I have to say that you, VanDriesen, Reisner, Gomez, McCallum, and EM1 Bush were some of my best friends. I really looked up to you guys! Oh, I can't overlook our favorite EMC or our favorite division officer Mr. Shebroe!
Funny, when I left I would have never considered myself a lifer... but with this site, and how much I still "live" navy, I guess I was...

: :Brad, :You were awesome. I'm sure had you stayed : Navy, you'd be a Master Chief by now. I've : met very few EM's as technically proficient as : you were in all my 18.5 yrs (If you just could : have relieved the midwatch ontime at least : once during your tour, LOL). I have an : approved retirement date, so it's definitely : coming to a close soon. Take care and drop a : line when you can. I must say though, working : here at RTC, I can't think of a better place : to close out a Naval Career. :Jim
