Working the night shift for two years as an Electronics Technician at SpaceX Hawthorne California, production testing Starlink Consumer/Commercial User Terminals. In the home stretch of my career now, looking forward to retirement overseas in Guam, Micronesia or Philippines, or applying to with possible part-time work at the Sonny Carter Astronaut Training Facility -Neutral Buoyancy Lab as a Safety Diver, near the Johnson Space Center Houston Texas; or possibly staying with SpaceX if Elon decides to build his own private training facility (and he is going to need a lot of Astronauts for the future fleet of Starship Rockets!).

I'm an avid & active Southern California Diver for over 25 years, and have been OC Technical diving regularly for nearly 20 years, mostly interested in historical WWII warships in the Indo-Pacific Asia Region. Been to the Chuuk Lagoon Wrecks many times, dived the Bikini Atoll Nuclear Test Fleet Wrecks, and many other famous wrecks sunk-in-action in the South China Sea. Best achievement, and the largest warships I've ever visited and dove on have been the Aircraft Carriers HMS Hermes in Sri Lanka, USS Saratoga at Bikini and USS Oriskany off of Pensacola Florida.

You can catch me almost any weekend, wind & weather permitting, on the diveboat Pacific Star out of San Pedro/Port of Los Angeles, to Santa Catalina Island or to the Northern Channel Islands National Park . . .usually with the same "tanks & kit" as in my Avatar Picture!
 
Welcome to the board!
Thank you BigGixx! Okinawa is still on my Bucket List -both for Tropical Japan Diving, and the sobering WWII History of the Last Major Battlefield & Campaign of the 20th Century. . .

I've toured the eerie Peleliu Battlefield on many divetrips to Palau: I can only imagine the sheer horror in greater magnitude that was Okinawa April 1945.
 
Wow, the damn thing worked & got caught in the chopsticks again!

Looks in better condition than the Flight 5 Super Heavy Booster B12. . .
