I was stationed in Gulfport, Mississippi through a Mardi Gras season many moons ago. I do miss the moonpies and beads.

Very cool job and videos. Having spent a good part of my youth "haze grey and underway" that brought back some good memories. My ship busted a sonar...

A good time will be had by all. See you there.

I was considering this very topic while at a rodeo Saturday night. It was in a very large and very white arena. Thousands of folks all there to have...

Lep-roita-lepThose of you starting off on your right foot have obviously not been "adjusted" by a dedicated Marine drill sergeant at a tender young ag...

That guy has a cool job. If I didn't love my current job, I would like to build instruments for a living. Breedlove was a great place to cut his tee...

Fantastic book full of ideas that could solve many issues plaguing our profession.

It isn't as common as I would like as far as recording a retracement survey. Our licensure board is one of the best in the country, our state society...

My radio range ends at about 1200 feet with a TSC2 and sooner with blockages. I can get shots at least out to 2300 feet but getting a solid lock at t...

With the TSC2 I get from 400 feet to 1200 feet depending on obstacles, usually on the high side of those numbers. I was one of the unlucky ones to ge...

It is short and sweet which is great. It is easy to get that glassy eyed look if going into detail with laypersons. I was teaching a surveying class...
