Today I was reminiscing the days of my Naval career. Searching YouTube I came across some videos that highlighted my career. Onboard the USS Nimitz (CVN 68) as Command Investigator after departing Naples Italy I had to return to Naples to conduct some Naval business with the Naples Police concerning one of our sailors onboard. I had to fly off the and then back on the Nimitz by COD as a passenger.

Taking off and landing as a passenger on the COD was a very shocking experience. Better than the rides at the amusement parks. ROFL.
