War Eagle, I just came from there, and I don't want to upset you, but you are dead wrong. There are some REALLY good people at NNPTU NY, but they do not define KAPL and that place is broken; just ask any number of people on this forum that have been stationed there. Some of it has to do with being beaten down, but alot of it has to do with how $hitty 90% of the civilians are and how hamstrung the Navy is with regards to running that site and maintaining standards. You want proof, Charleston doesn't have nearly the same problems NY has and it's all because they run those Prototypes as BOATS, not SHIPYARDS.......Anyway, I digress. NY is still a great place in my opinion, but it could be much better if they got rid of the Unions and the majority of the civilians and let the Navy run it properly.
