The other Canadian at the camp


The other Canadian at the camp, PO2 Patrick Huot from the Fifth Maritime Operations Group in Halifax, stood as A/RSO on one of the other watches,Sign up for Twitter to follow omegawatches . and the watch teams were made up of sailors and officers from Canada, the USN, and the Royal Navy.Never retail for lessthan $250 Moreover if the cartierwatchesvendor claimsthewatch is Tag Aquaracer 20082 on saleor . Other camp inhabitants included staff from ASL, staff from the Applied Physics Lab at the University of Washington,Jewelry & watchesshoponline at Cyber Monday for Deals & Coupons. who were the folks who built, maintained, and kept the camp running, a team of amazing chefs (average daily calorie burn at the camp is 5,000 calories) and a rotating group of researchers who came in to run experiments.

In addition to the RSO responsibilities,Trade Leads for edhardysunglassesstore, Search ecplaza.net for buying and selling leads, we were also required to help out with the day-to-day camp duties. These included KP Duty in the galley and mining for ice. There is no running water in the camp so we had to go collect ice from older ice formations that had the salt leached out over several seasons. This ice was melted to provide water for drinking, cooking, and washing up.

There were also numerous field parties and everyone in camp was needed to help out with them; these ranged from helping scientists set up test equipment, watching for polar bears when people were working away from the camp, or assisting the submarines when they were on the surface.
The submarines surfaced regularly during the course of the exercise and, even though I've spent my entire career in the submarine service, watching USS Connecticut surface through the ice was one of the most exciting things I've seen.

USS New Hampshire, because of her design, could not surface through ice and one of the big jobs at the camp was finding open water for the boat to use for surfacing evolutions, and then helping with the mooring once the boat was on the surface. The entire process was very similar to a submarine coming alongside the pier, except in this case the pier was two metres of ice.
