This is to chronicle my adventures on the USS Midway as a Docent. I was a civilian - I did not serve in the military, but I have respect for those that did.

Monday, September 01, 2008

We're in the middle of the Labor Day Weekend. We had a great turnout today - over 4,000 guests. The Red Hats busted a fellow selling guest passes on the pier. That was pretty funny.

Today I got the Docent-at-large assignment - which is the best, by the way. I also spelled a few guys for their lunch break. I get to meet lots of interesting people this way.

I met Chris in the engine room. He's a Flight Deck Director on the USS Nimitz. He looks pretty serious in this picture - but it was really cool talking to him and his Dad about his Navy career. A really bright young man.


This is Rod - he was on the USS Oriskany, The Mighty O, from '62 to '66. He set the Frensel Lens for the landing planes. He was very interesting. His pal took this pic - so if it's a litte blury. . . that's why.
