Yeah? Can you weld? I need someone to give me some pointers on MIG
welding.


What MIG? The 17? But I don't weld. Gives you lung cancer and
hurts your eyes. Anyway, I turned valves and stuff. Pretty good at
it. Only time I talked to the captain was when he sent me to the
brig. Oh, and once I tripped him when I was loafing on a work party.
Guess he thought that just because he was walking by I was supposed to
notice and pull my outstretched legs out his way. Riiiight. Makes
you wonder how they put clumsy people in charge of nuclear armed
ships, but they do.
