They commonly wore a dive shirt imprinted with, “Fly Navy. Divers need the work!”

My next door neighbor in Va. Beach (long after I got out) was a full-on Navy diver (hard-hat), and yeah, he pulled a couple of pilots out of the water. His worst mission was aboard the USS Hoist when they recovered remains from flight 800. He was jacked after that, and I get it...
Speaking of the Hoist, before I joined the Navy I dated the Hoist's CMC. Amazing how small the world is...
This is another dive I want to do:
My boat kicked the Radford all over the ocean during an exercise, I went 10-for-10 with putting ADCAPs on them, enough to have been given the ship's seal. I might just return it... Skimmers are just too easy.. Unless you were on the USS Moosebrugger, those guys were uncommonly challenging..
And I think the Navy still has the school in PC, "On the Bayou"!!! Good times...
