I seem to remember him saying they were packed tighter than sardines so ya'll might have been.:)
The old MOB barracks were quite the treat. I was many years after your Dad. I was popular with the TI because I knew wood. We moved in the barracks hadn't been used for like 20 years. I gave him a shopping list and had the old hardwood floors shinning in just a couple days.
 
I bet you did put a smile on him doing that. ;)

he got me a sanding disk for the buffer, some stain and good carnuba wax. Sanded those old hardwood oak floors down to bare wood, stained them and then waxed them to a pristine shine. They looked like brand new floors. When the company commander inspected us, he was amazed and brought the TI's from the other barracks and told them "this is what you need to achieve... Oh and it's not impossible." So the following weekend I was doing training.

BTW, I stink... Need to wash my shoes and get my pants changed. Had 13 stinkers in the bator, two blew up before today. cleaning the trays it got all over my shoes and my pants. :sick:sick:sick:sick:sick:sick
 
Oh boy that was good and bad. Dad said sometimes he regretted showing he was good at something back then. And I bet you do smell good! Nothing better than a hot rotten egg.:lau

I hate Satellite internet and it's stupid data limits. I haven't been able to properly connect to do work since 9:30. I've been wracking my brain about why, so I check my off peak data. What do you know, my allotment is GONE. I had to buy extra at 3 bucks a gig.
:barnie

It certainly doesn't help that I've been awake since 4:30 am and working since 6am and I still have 2-3 hours to go.
