Ahh.. The "she" thing. I get it.. The whole "Reactor" side of the Navy isn't (or wasn't) really that "gung ho" when I was going through it. We were really cynical and never really conforned to strict protocol in day-to-day life. It was a very MASH-like (the TV show) atmosphere there.
So the "she" threw me for a loop.
And yeah, all my time with the Nimitz was in Bremerton as a home-base. I liked the Seattle area. When it's nice it's REALLY nice.. Does rain a lot like they say though!
