I used to have a neighbor that was an engineer at Raytheon and he overseeing the bearing change on that huge radar dish on Kwaj. He was always going out there for something or other and said it was great out there. Turned out the crazy fucker had another family out there! I felt bad for his wife and sons, they were good people. |
