The sun had not yet showed its yellow glow when the alarm clock went from passive to aggressive and got my sorry butt up. Holy Poo Batman we are having a terrorist chemical attack in the north end of the county at the Navy base. Seeing how I dont do chemicals, thats Fireman stuff. So I brush, shower, shave, dress, eat and go to the marine building for extra tanks before responding.
I get to the meeting point around 0800 along with two other divers and a Marine Deputy who drug up one of our Raves. Now we wait, the only 4 not involved in the operation sink into boredom mode and hope they dont have to call us. This a big Homeland Security drill with several fed, state and local agencies involved.
During the early morning wait I decide to take care of something I hadnt taken care of earlier. All I have to say about that is that who ever decided to make a stainless steel toilet and put it in an unheated cement block building should be shot several times.
It was like 30df outside and minus 30df inside. Remember The Christmas Story? The part where the kid licks the frozen pipe. Thank god I didnt have a sweaty or Id still be there. But I still have a frost bite oval ring Im not showing off.:mooner:
Everything must have gone well because we didnt get called to do what we were there to do. The Blackhawk stayed in the air and nobody fell in. I think the actual chemical attack did happen but it was after lunch. hehehe
