The desert dome.... memories or lack there of. I would never go there if there was a ship in but if it was the last day of shift (I was an MA) I would hurry up and change and hit up the desert dome and do a power hour before they closed. For those of you not in the know a power hour is a shot of beer every minute for an hour. It is 5 beers in one hour and gets you where your going pretty fast. Then you can hit up rock bottoms or some better clubs with less shore patrol. I remember this one place called the Warbler. Never saw shore patrol there.

What did you say to Ashton. That he was great and then when he said thanks you said "you just got punk'd" because yeah that would be pretty funny and then someone else could have been like "bbbuuurrrnnn!!!".
I tried to jump on one of the medivac flights for emergency leave to California back in 2009. I left Andrews AFB in Maryland and then spent 3 days on a C130 as we got diverted all over the country. Finally ended up at McCord AFB in Washington where the pilot got into a pissing match with the ground crew and they refused to let us take off again. It was about midnight and they just opened up the doors on the tarmac and said, "goodbye". Had to walk a few miles to housing, then rent a car and drive 600 miles to California. Those free flights sound great in theory. Nothing like 3 days on a flight with no heat and sitting in a jump seat to make commercial travel sound real appealing.
