Jump into the ocean from a submarine fairwater plane at the equator

Dammit, you've just invalidated all my submarine ones...oh well.

- Gone deeper and faster than I'm allowed to talk about (your mom is jealous, btw).

- Observed flight ops on a carrier through a periscope at...some close distance. Subsequently been overflown by an armed helicopter because we freaked someone out.

- Loaded, aimed, and fired a 5-inch gun on a cruiser. More of a workout than you'd expect.

- Flown in an MV-22 Osprey. Didn't die.

- Flown with a Marine Corps instructor pilot in a single-engined prop. Didn't puke.

- Got paid to do it all.

I've got a buddy that was a Navy subhunter. He will start recalling a story about something, stop in the middle, and change the subject. :eek:

My dad was a B-52 pilot, and does similar things. "... so we were flying... well it doesn't matter. But we weren't close to ... well anyway, we were about to ... Hey, what's on TV?"

My brother came back from two tours in Iraq and did exactly the same thing.

And I can only reminisce about the time that I saw Empire Strikes Back on opening weekend. :rolleyes:

And women say we have unrealistic expectations of sex. :p
Apparently it was entirely reasonable for those three ladies.
Guess you showed the nay-sayers! haha
 
awesome thread :p

1. been to capri (3 times) and this year I'm goin' again.
2. repaired a very old PC at the age of 7 :p
 
Nothing too special here. I used to get pulled out of class when I was 9 because teachers would ask me to go fix their computers.

Something my pastor did: He had a 7-10 split bowling once. Just for kicks, he decided to throw two balls down, one with his left hand and one with his right. They bounced off each other in the middle, and proceeded down the lane to knock both pins down.

Most amazing thing I've ever seen in my life!!! :D

Are you a police officer or a felon?

I was in AlKhobar, KSA driving a Lumina SS. I laid down some rubber for 15 feet in a parking lot just as an authority pulled-in. My passenger told me, "trust me just run...now."

Come to find out we would have both received lashings for our behavior (he would be punished for not discouraging me).

The humor was 95% of the police drive '90 Land Cruisers so it was mostly a radio game where they'd call ahead to road block and I'd evade them. Finally drove into the desert and turned my lights off ;)
 
-I marched in the Rose Parade this past Christmas as part of the Hawaii All State Marching Band. It was super fun.

-Regis Philbin held me when I was a baby.

-I was born on Maui, and I have lived here all my life.
