Then while in the Army, I was in nuclear weapons maintenance. One rotation I was on we flew to each missile site to inspect the warheads in the depots. Kinda exciting but yet boring cause we weren’t allowed to go off the base for security reasons. So around the world in 2 weeks. Whoopee! Only did it once.
