All In A Day work






  
  What can I say, it’s not epic, you won’t write your mother of how exciting the week was up here.  The airplane might excite a child, but other than that it was a typical week up here.  I won’t go into the fact that everything seems to be falling apart, incinerator, transmitters, and generators.   Knock on wood; it will all get fixed in time.  Now to the ordinary Port Clarence News.

  The busy couple weeks are over and the admirals have come and gone.  The effective maintenance and operation of the station impressed them.  The weather is back to normal and cold as it normally is, but still beautiful up here.  The log flight flew in at sunrise with the admirals aboard and brought many necessary supplies, such as beer.   Food was brought too, but no one gets really excited about the food even though it is probably more important.  As you can see it made for a nice picture of the C-130 coming in on final approach and the people in the silver suits, that is the crash crew.   That Is my billet during the log flight.  It is a fun job, you get to be outside and do a little bit of everything.  The log flight also delivered our Sno Go, which we need now that the Osh Kosh is out of commission. I didn’t mention that before, I suppose the last storm was a little hard on it.  After we got everything unloaded and had a talk from the Admirals and master Chiefs, the log flight left Port Clarence to its isolation once again.  That’s all there really is to say.  I wish my family luck as they are bound to get underway again soon. Have a wonderful day.  

 

P.S. like I said, here are the pictures of a log flight.
