Isn't that one of the most dangerous jobs there is? I remember watching some show on discovery about those guys...

Yes it is a hazardous and demanding job, like many others that are not on the front lines, doing their part nonetheless.

John McCain is one of the luckiest pilots around, in 1967 (I think) he was on deck in a jet when a rocket from another plane struck his jet and shortly thereafter his large bomb went off starting a huge fire which killed many and almost sunk the USS Forrestal it is a nice bit of history to check out..if my memory is right, after that accident they modified the bombs so they would not ignite so quickly in case of an onboard fire...
