    Thanks to all for your posts, as they are most appreciative. My eight years in the service were very memorable. I still get together with several former shipmates, as we have a facebook site for one of the squadrons we served in. I did all my service either in a squadron, AIMD or ships company aboard the USS Saratoga CV-60.

    Again thanks - - stay safe and alert.

    Thanks to Buffalo664, Brooklyn50 and GAPathfinder for your service to our country, I too am a fellow vet, (Navy 1983-1991) "Gator Freighter". Heading to Werner in two weeks, myself looking forward to experience like bootcamp all over again.

    Warm Regards to All,

    Good luck with everything rather you go USX or Arnold shipmate! I served 7 years Navy 97-04 USS Einsenhower AIMD and HSL-41 Seahawks. I was an AE.

    My only concern with USX or Arnold is their duck walk. I am 6` 5" tall, 300 lbs. While I can do the duck walk...my back scrapes the rope set at 42". I practice everyday with my exercising to get more flexible. Looking at a couple other companies as backup.

    Just found that it is 44" not 42" for the 5-step duck walk. Will be okay with continued daily practice and exercise.

    I don't even recall seeing the line on the wall when I did mine. She just told me to duck walk and after I took about 3 steps she said okay your good.

    Yeah, I'm 6'3" and I just squatted down until my butt almost hit the floor and kept my head way down. She laughed and said I had plenty of room.
