In the Puget Sound Bay west of Seattle. Everything rusted and it constantly rained holding up projects. I could never figure out why the site was ever picked.

Scrappile Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) Bremerton!! Sure they still use it. My son was stationed there for a while. Absolutely beautiful area. He lived in Poulsbo. Was on the USS Carl Vinson. Took a break from F-18 to learn more about ship life. Went out for a prep cruse to prepare for a normal 6 month cruse and didn't get back until 9 months later! They were called to the middle east while on the prep exercise. When he returned, his son and I I loved it over there, would love to live around that area.

Folks that serve on subs generally don't serve on the surface. Strange trade, but they needed a tech to troubleshoot problems. I was traded in a bar conversation.

I was in a Transport Company and every time we'd bring the trucks or any vehicle for that matter back to the Depo. we'd grab a gallon of Olive Green and a 4" brush and slap it on any scratches etc In some places I think they where bullet proof because of all the paint OCtoolguy and teachnlearn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
