The Unexpected Bucket List

September 16-18 Rosh Hashannah


Bucket list:

Land on a carrier while at sea. Check.



Steer/drive a carrier (not a simulation of one) AND not hit anything. Check.
I did warn them that while in the helo simulator in Mayport, Florida, I killed everyone on board. 
This did not stop them from turning the helm over to me. 

The best part - the helm is the same steering wheel as a racing car arcade game! 
No big wooden wheel. No splinters. Not something the size of a silver dollar.  

(This is the helm aboard the Halyburton, a frigate)

(This is the helm of the Farragot, a destroyer. It's close to what the helm looks like on the carrier. However, the carrier has two people steering simultaneously.)
