[00:16:32] <Runaway1956> It was special order through the Armed Forces PX catalog
[00:16:44] <pinchy> ah yea did you serve in the military?
[00:16:55] <Runaway1956> Only for eight years, yes
[00:17:11] <chromas> Name, rank and serial number!
[00:17:14] <pinchy> what was it like? did you go any where cool or see intersting things?

[00:18:11] <pinchy> Runaway1956: whats your opinion of the armed forces after serving?
[00:18:34] <c0lo> After serving what? A potato soup?
[00:19:00] <Runaway1956> Hard to give a one-line opinion of the Navy, let alone the entire military
[00:19:29] * Runaway1956 serves over easy eggs on a hotcake stack too
[00:19:37] <pinchy> did yall shove junk off the decks of ships when out at sea? ive heard they dump whatever whenever
[00:20:09] <Runaway1956> Not exactly pinchy, we always threw it into the one of the landfills
[00:20:40] <Runaway1956> North Atlantic landfill, North Sea landfill, Med landfill, Indian Ocean landfill . . . .
[00:20:56] <pinchy> a friend on a carrier said one of the officers got a shipment in of new office supplies and they tossed a bunch of office desks and old equipment
[00:21:33] <Runaway1956> Yes, basically, everything goes overboard - there's no room to store trash and garbage until you get back to port
[00:22:12] <Runaway1956> The one time we kinda-sorta attempted that was a total disaster
[00:22:58] <chromas> Poor fish are always stuck with the hand-me-downs
[00:23:01] <pinchy> oh yea what about radars on the ship, could u feel the heat off the dish or was there reports of people hearing the radar scan in there head from the radiation?
[00:23:59] <Runaway1956> Errrrr, uhhhh, not exactly - radar is sixty feet or so over anyone's head - no heat felt from that distance unless you stand directly in front of the emitter
[00:24:13] <Runaway1956> But, yeah, you could cook a person with them
[00:24:39] <Runaway1956> some of them, rather, not every radar is created equal
[00:25:18] <pinchy> did you hear about any injuries from pilots or repair techs or any other stories from people that worked on them?
[00:25:40] <pinchy> did they turn the dish off as pilots come into land?
[00:26:06] <Runaway1956> I'm a destroyer man - no aircraft landing on us, but some helicopters did bring us supplies
[00:26:23] <Runaway1956> they didn't generally fly in front of high energy emitters
[00:26:33] <pinchy> what about the helicopter pilots? did they turn it off for them?
[00:26:50] <pinchy> or did you notice the dish stop turning or whatever
[00:26:53] <Runaway1956> Either pointed in the opposite direction, or turned off, one or the other
[00:27:31] * Runaway1956 was always occupied during vertical replenishment, couldn't see radar array from the fantail
[00:28:27] <pinchy> was it quiet in any part of the ship? or was there engine noise etc in every part of the ship?
[00:29:13] <Runaway1956> Noisy - especially in a storm
[00:29:57] <Runaway1956> refrigeration spaces were the quietest place aboard most of the time - below the water line, rather isolated from propulsion, etc
[00:30:02] <pinchy> did people wear hearing protection back in those days during test firing?
[00:30:34] <Runaway1956> yeah, no - we had it, but big mickey mouse ears hard to keep on while doing your job
[00:30:54] <Runaway1956> when they came out with foam ear plugs, that helped a lot
[00:30:59] <pinchy> did you ever have to fire hand guns on a range? did they wear hearing protection back then for bootcamp?
[00:31:23] <Runaway1956> Yes - I qualified with small arms, no, no hearing protection
[00:31:42] <pinchy> haah wow. ears rining like a mofo i guess
[00:31:56] <Runaway1956> Also, rude people around the world never asked you to put hearing protection on before shooting at you
[00:32:57] <Runaway1956> Mehhhh - after the first couple shots, you don't notice it much
[00:33:35] <pinchy> they dont allow alcohol on ship? thats what ive heard
[00:33:43] <Runaway1956> If you'd like some advice, never stand in front of a 5 inch gun when it fires
[00:34:06] <Runaway1956> No alcohol aboard US Navy ships - pretty much every other ship in the world has alcohol

[01:24:39] <Runaway1956> Corny joke for the day:
[01:25:04] <Runaway1956> Why are there vampires in so many European countries, but not in Africa?

[01:26:39] <omgwtf> idgi
[01:26:59] <omgwtf> are vampires like allergic to rain or smth?
[01:27:05] <Runaway1956> Serious? Holy water kills holy water
[01:27:21] <Runaway1956> errr, holy water kills vampires
[01:27:33] <FatPhil> claud rains was the invisible man and vampires are invisible in mirrors, duh!
[01:27:39] <omgwtf> lol asking for a blessing of rain doesn't turn it into holy water silly :)
[01:28:00] <omgwtf> the priest has to do that with water he already has
[01:28:02] <Runaway1956> Well, how does holy water get to be holy water to start with?
[01:28:14] <omgwtf> there's a ceremony
[01:28:18] <FatPhil> virgins get sacrificed
[01:28:28] -!- aristarchus has quit []
[01:28:33] <Runaway1956> then, what happens when the holy water evaporates? You get holy water vapor, then holy rain, then a holy red sea or something
[01:28:55] <omgwtf> i don't think that's how it works :)
[01:29:08] <Runaway1956> But, I have thought this out, it works
[01:29:18] <omgwtf> ok :)
[01:29:24] <Runaway1956> lol
[01:32:28] <chromas> asking for a blessing of rain is totally different from blessing the rains
[01:33:53] <Runaway1956> You guys are killing me - it's a corny joke, LOL
[01:34:02] <Runaway1956> tough audience
[01:34:19] <chromas> well sure, it is now that they have rains to bless their crops
[01:35:09] <Runaway1956> Never heard of Christ University Choir - they did a video for that song, it's amusing
