A Letter from Mike Perkins, One or our readers,

Cat shots were loud and so were the recoveries. When the arresting  cable was played out, it sounded like a thousand wildcats screaming in   your ear at the same time. I slept in forward berthing under the bow  cats. After awhile I could sleep through anything, even flight ops. I   had an upper rack and that simple foam mattress was better than any   posturepedic. I had also purchased a small black and white TV which I   installed in my rack locker. I got some coax from one of the ships USS Forestal Aircraft Carrier model kit Photocompany guys and over a period of days, usually during the night hours  when no one was around, I used a splitter and tied into the ships cable  system then ran approximately a hundred feet of the stuff, hiding it  above ducting, inside cable and wire bundles, etc to the back of my   rack. I was able to watch all of the ships programming, flight ops and   what have you from the comfort of my rack.
