Thinking about the quarterly weapons training I attended for a few years while in the Navy

But even worse, I think about the six months I slept right under the number 2 arresting wire, where the aircraft would land (always hard) and the tail hook would slam into the steel deck

Plus, working up forward under the catapults...
