New Post Type Project

My grandma just showed me part of a documentary type thing on the USS Reagan and while I don't miss the Navy as a whole really, I do miss the flight deck a lot. I loved working on F-18s. The flight deck during flight schedule was never truly dull, there was always something going on and even if it was tiring carrying around about 80lbs of chains on your shoulders for 30 minutes or so at a time, there was a certain satisfaction when your jet finally was launched off the catapult and took flight into the sky knowing you that you helped make that possible. And when I was in my shop, as an AD, it was the same feeling when I helped fix a part or replace an engine and knowing that soon, most likely the next day, that jet would be back up on the flight deck and being prepped for launch. 

omg im sorry i made your post a make john green find the thing post
