As many as the Navy says it does for various reasons such as safety, training, etc. Maybe you should go fuck yourself. How many guys does it take to jerk you off? Apparently just 2 , You and your dad.
We never shook it, but I did spin it just for show. Still got my old zippo too. Lit fires many times. Off the back wall a time or two while in restricted maneuvering too. 80-84 and 87-91
I’ll be honest, I have little experience with these apart from family, being in cadets, and a interest in the navy But…. Idk that dosnt sound right to me 😭 i know Americans do things different but I kinda feel this is one thing every country could all sit around and agree on using universally 😅 so idk just feels like it’s not right but again, I don’t actually know 🤷♂️
Ah memories. I was a Burnerman on the Anchorage, out of Long Beach in the mid 80's. Same safety gear, (leather jacket, gloves & face sheild) but I don't remember shaking the torch like that. But I do remember changing out burners & cleaning burner tips. Didn't know they still have boiler powered ships. Also, I heard they dont even have a BT rate anymore.
I been keeping one in my safe for eight years and im finally finding out it what it is. I thought it was a vintage meth pipe so I never used it until now 🤣
Not sure when this was made but I remember stealing parts off the Battan in the strip ship docks at Portsmouth ship yards around 03 or 04. Last I heard she became a target ship after that in a Sink X
I never understood why everyone on the flightdeck had to wear a cranial and goggles but LSOs. Any reason other than they wont look cool with their foamy ear plugs and raybans??? LOL
