Heh! My color-blindness prevented me from being anything but a deck ape or an engineer. I went deck ape.
Nothing like driving a flat top around the world, then catching a few ZZZs in the engine compartment of a Harrier before morning muster.
I'll take ORIONs anytime. We deploy to land bases with barracks and beer available. Bad part is flying around in planes older than I am with pilots younger. It gets...interesting from time to time, like over the North Sea at 300 feet at night in the Winter storms. With the heater broken. For twelve hours straight.
