Hey onthefence, I noticed that you said you were involved in Operation Earnest Will. Saw the new pictures too. How was your experience with that operation? How did you like the navy? Just want to learn more about your experiences in service. If you don't want to talk about your service...i'm cool with that.

where did you see pictures I put up?

Lets see, it took 21 days to cross the pond. One hour out of Little Creek while aligning the evap to use the electric heater a key step was overlooked and the heating element burned up (the heating element that we had to remove from another sweep that wasn't deploying the night before) Normal steaming the evap could be aligned to use heat from the main engines. We were being towed so we were not running the main engines.

To sum it up evap + no heat = we can't make fresh water.
water water everywhere and not a drop to drink or more importantly wash your ass (or the guy in the rack next to you)

I'll tell you more later.....
