Hey now!
Has nothing to do with Intel.
They tried to get me to help on plane wash down once, I told them I wasn't qualified and might accidently use sandpaper on the windows.
I remember going around the horn while being chased by a hurricane on CVN-68, we had planes chained down on the flight deck. 90+ off the water, I remember watching the waves crash over the bow.

I've seen someone turn on the AFFF inside a hangar, that will ruin the electronics of all your birds real fast. lol
Neither does this, for the most part:
Before I wound up on active duty on the
USS Hancock (CVA-19) in the Tonkin Gulf and South China Sea, I was on 2 weeks active duty in '68 as a reservist, we had flown from NAS Atlanta to Sand Point NAS near Seattle. A Navy Chief had me change a cracked exhaust stack and a leaky oil line on a
Pratt & Whitney R-2000 Twin Wasp radial engine on a
Douglas C-54 Skymaster. I told him I was training in electronics (ATN or ATR), not ADR and he said "....do you work on your car?" I said "well, yes sir" to which he replied "do you know what these are?" as he held a pair of safety wire pliers and I said "yes sir", as my dad was a Delta Airlines electrician since 1956 so I knew what they were. he said "well, there ya go" and walked off. I changed the stack and the oil line. I sat next to a window and had my eye on the #1 engine that I had worked on all the way back to ATL. It's a wonder all of us didn't wind up in the crash stats; but there were 3 other engines to keep us up.
Speaking of being on an aircraft carrier during a storm, on the Hancock I watched on more than one occasion during typhoons the superbly choreographed work of brown, yellow and green shirts move A4's and F8's from the flight deck to the starboard elevator as the ship completed its roll to port, chock and tie it down to the raised elevator, then as soon as the carrier had almost completed its roll to starboard, lower the elevator, un-chock the plane and move it to the safety of the hangar deck below. This is the part that would raise the hair on my neck.....sometimes the typhoon was so violent, the carrier pitched so much that the lowered elevator would leave a huge rooster tail in the water as the carrier continued to steam @ approximately 25 knots. Those guys were good and worked very hard.
