I'm a environmental remediation technician.....

I run/operate/maintain/repair remediation systems on MCAS cherry point. Basically I gauge a bunch of groundwells monitoring JP5 in the ground water. I also maintain, clean and repair down well total fluid pumps that pump water and fuel back to systems that have Oil/water separators.

 

neat... but why would there be jet fuel in the ground water???

 

does that mean i can call you old timer then??


thats cool they kept it open long enough for yall to get the full pension...

 

Old timer, that's me.
They let the thirty of us do clean up till Feb. Everyone else (except maintenance) were gone before the end of 96.

 

and you only pushed that broom an inch a month right

 

A little more than that...lol

 

Tony, it's great they did that for you to get that pension. I've never heard much about unions in NC. I did some work for one of the GE entities a few years ago. I'm glad to hear of a corporation treating people well. It's not something that makes the news lately.

Larry, that kinda makes me want to drink bottled water from now on.

 

My Dr. appointment went pretty good this afternoon. My stomach and lower unit finally called a truce about 11pm yesterday. Still kind of noisy but I do feel better.
He liked the weight that I lost (30 pounds so far), and my blood pressure was good, he thinks I can get off of some of my medications that I'm taking daily. Hopefully lose the pills for the high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. That will get half of my morning pills out of my face.
We have officially started getting some lights up in trees for our Christmas Light Show. It takes is 4-5 day's to get trees wrapped, and other things set up and anchored down into the yard.
Our second controller showed up this last week from Christmas Lights Set to Music | WowLights so we'll have two controllers/32 programmable channels, and if we can get all of the lights that we have, it'll be at the 10,000 number

If you can't see it from space............your not doing it right!

 

glad to hear your healths better..

 

Lines break, fuel spills, and it use to be acceptable to just dump the contents on the plane you were working on, on the ground. There is literally thousands of gallons in the ground on cherry point alone. Some places as much as 3-5' of fuel on top of the water table.

 

I don't drink the water on base, if I don't bring it from home, or it don't come to us in a bottle I don't drink it.

 

do me a favor... siphon that off the top and deliver it to my house... lil dually's thirsty

 

So we should plan to have the next bonfire night out there?

 

Sparky,

Looks like your coming up on your 60K post maintenance interval.

 

Dang, Sparky. I've been on here 22 months longer than you and you have 58,185 more posts than me....LOL... Do your fingers hurt?
