I have operted over 500 mile north of the artic circle among the icebuergs back in yesteryear. We were up there allegedly eTRAINING a S2F squadron. In the arts of tradking submariiines. In a world suppsedly filled with peace.  Mr Kruchev and the russian Navy  felt we should have been using our own dam submarines for practce.  A year or so later he was banging his shoe on a table top at the UN threatening to turn us and all the ships then operating in the 6 th fleet into floatng coffins. He was sort of like the current crop of nuts leading a much more dangerous world

A  S2F is a twin engine prop driven aircraft.When it leaves the flightdeck of a carrier the prop wash will just about freeze you right then. It got so cold we would sometime find it a relief to stand as close to those exaust outlets as possble when you could whiIe they were waiting to launch.. we had two of them collide killing both crews. Took  tem about 1 hrs to retrive body parts and stuff that were frozen.

That's rough. Appreciate your service!  Lots of super hard things to overcome I bet.

Not to sound racist, but as soon as I heard that dudes accent I knew better than to enter a cold water race against him.   

I think it's more about conditioning.  At the beginning of Winter I can't stand anything under 60°, but by Spring I'm in a tank top and shorts at 55° .

    Now I see you could actually have some kin that lives near the famous Bennett Springs. The resemblance is amazing. . I am glad the daughters don't take after you.
