Pro Bowl 2006

Pre-game shout-out to the military.
I don't know why I am being so feisty in this picture, it just came to me I guess.
The Pro Bowl crew - Me, Aaron, Smud, Erin, Kelly and Casey

Pro Bowl 2006

Pearl Harbor in the distance
Kick Off!
The coin toss!

Underway Replenishment

Estopare and his homie hard at work.

The USS Pecos giving us some fuel.
Its harder than it looks.
The crew, on break.

UnRep

We have to pull the huge fuel lines across - makes your hands a bit raw.
The Captain on the bridge wing, making sure we are doing our job.

Me, always vigil in my sweet helmet. You know the Navy - "safety first."

Getting Underway

A shot of Hickham Air Force Base. When I took the picture I didn't see the enormously fat guy. I figure it just makes the picture that much funnier.
Salty sailors...
Hard at work with Aaron.
A shot of the "hole" where we keep the mooring lines when we don't use them.

Getting Underway

A nice shot of my rear end as I unhook the net.
The USS Missouri and the Arizona Memorial.
The USS California resting place with Ford Island in the back ground.
There are a few theories as to what this is (the death star...) but it is actually the largest radar ever built. Its the Army's but it is ran jointly and houses some civilians. It is used in our ballistic missile defense.

Getting Underway

Here's the line handling crew, hard at work as usual.
The bridge team, not so hard at work
Folding the flag
Yeah... like I always say - a bunch of idiots.

The Swim Hole

It was the last day before we went underway... we had to do something.

The swim hole

Yeah, so this is how we kill time. We call it... Pirate's Cove...

CA Division - thats how we roll

Combat Acoustics division, mostly acting like bunch of idiots. I guess that's what living on a ship will do to you.

Dry Dock

Some shots of the boat. Thats me standing under the props. That big blob-looking thing on the bottom from of the ship houses our active sonar.

Kanehoa

A sweet hike along this ridge on the west side of the island. PacMan (in green) is afraid of heights. It was humorous.

Kanehoa

Some of the sights... sweet.

Kayaking...

A day spent in the water. Idiot PacMan made us flip over in the water but it was worth it cuz he cut his foot on the coral. We paddled out to a little island off the coast, we didn't hike it this time, but we did find some fighting crabs.
