Here is a picture from my days as a maintainer. What? The birds were both gone for a while, what was I suppose to do?
When I get home from work I'll see if I can find that picture of me from my second cruise.
There's always down time, somewhere.

AE 606 enjoying much needed liberty in Cannes, France.
Summer 1986, we had a grueling schedule we were keeping, 1 week at sea and 4 weeks in port, it was tough to save any money.
I think you might remember it, Naples then Palma Cannes, Levorno, Italy Sicily Naples and Palma again. I don't think we were at sea for more than 3 weeks at any given time.

I was there with HS-15 at the time. I thought I recognized the guy in the red sweatsuit. Actually I recognized the sweatsuit.
The two guys two the right of the group were locals; the rest of were from VAQ132. We usually hit port together as we were all friends and in the same duty section. One - AE me one AO - the chump with the popped collar, one AMS - in Ray Bans, and one AD - the guy to my left.
