I have been in the Navy now for 9 years so all your "I am an experienced guy and you are a paranoid newbie" talk goes right through me. I have been there, and am always looking to keep myself healthy because of it. Thanks for the tip....
Hey, I wasn't trying to talk down to you. I really do applaud your effort to keep your bits and pieces safe. When I was in high school and college, the two biggest things I worried about were my eyes and my hearing, in large part because of what I wanted to do w/ them, ie fly in the Navy. As for the other occupational hazards...I either forgot, or just missed you have some history. To be honest, it really wasn't the point. I was merely saying there's so much that can "hurt" you in the Navy, regardless of community, that worrying about whether a visor is UV rated, when there's a monsterous system in place that takes care of us, safety-wise, in the aviation community is kind superfluous. If I'm a bug that crawled up your ass, so be it. I had no idea I could inspire hate in someone. Grown powerful in the dark side I have.

It just gets there. Gearbox seals, engine seals, corrosion preventative, Liquid A(ss). It's everywhere. And you've got to eat your sandwich sometime.

Thanks for the link. I was wondering where people were pulling the glint info from. It's good to see someone actually document it....whoever they may be.
