Jamie_B Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 [quote name='USN Bengal' post='640543' date='Mar 5 2008, 07:09 PM']That sure is the truth, have to live it to believe it. Jamie, what that guy was doing in that video was a common training technique... it looked like a young man simply wasting time by balancing a broom on the ships flight deck while the ship was underway. It's SOOOOOO much more than that. It's called wasting time by balancing a broom on the flight deck while underway and NOT getting into trouble for goofing off training. LOL![/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengals1181 Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 [quote]Bonuses for Ndukwe, Jones Today, March 13, 2008, 38 minutes ago | Mark Two Bengals players have earned additional money for their performances in 2007. Linebacker Dhani Jones earned an additional $207,000, and rookie safety Chinedum Ndukwe $191,000, in performance-based pay. They are bonuses paid as part of the NFL's collective bargaining agreement with the players' union. The CBA creates an additional fund out of which players can be paid additional compensation based on a comparison of playing time to salary. Jones signed as a street free agent in September and ended up playing in 14 games. He started nine games and was second on the defense with 111 total tackles. He had one sack and two forced fumble on defense. He also had seven total tackles in the kicking game and was voted by teammates as special teams captain. Ndukwe, a seventh-round draft pick, played in 14 games with two starts. He had 35 total tackles on defense, including two sacks, and interecepted three passes and forced one fumble. He recovered one fumble and returned it 54 yards for a touchdown in Game 16 at Miami. He added nine tackles on special teams. Jones re-signed, for three years, with the Bengals this month. He has the inside track to start at weak-side linebacker. Ndukwe and fellow 2007 draft pick, Marvin White, are being counted on -- if not to start -- to play significant snaps at safety in 2008. The Bengals are enthused by their potential and want to provide both White and Ndukwe ample opportunity to win starting jobs in their second seasons.[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Lucid| Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 [quote name='Rick' post='640439' date='Mar 5 2008, 03:46 PM']There is really no way to explain sharing a room (space) with 100 sailors and no windows (portholes) for fresh air! The sounds and smells are still with me over 30 years later! I still am proud of my four years in the Navy. I learned a lot of life skills, too. AND I love my country, the USA![/quote] Were you a submariner Rick? I have always been fascinated with submarines, though the closest I will come to being in one is playing Silent Hunter (at least I play with 100% realism, so I have to identify silhouettes and figure my own solutions)... Just curious, the smells are obvious, but what SOUNDS might you be referring to that could be so scarring (assuming you mean more than cavitation and pressure)?
