I member an instance back in the old MPC days- Letdown valve in the can unable to contain its process and us men were attempting to fix it. SCBAs were piling up in the general vicinity of the RCA exit point causing exit portal woes. I determined that if we dont relocate these contaminated devices - we will be setting up an RCA porta potty. As a fresh outta the Nav Senior - I was taking it all in in amazement that things could get that contaminated. I grabbed a nearby HNS man in green to assist in the relocation effort of the SCBAs and he uttered "but those things dont detect radiation, they detect contamination" Calling upon my vast ELT wisdom I said unto him - I understand you are very hot and dehydrated and when you are cooled off you will look back and say - Did I really say that? The gentleman morphed into a competent Sr. RPT - as long as there was no NEUT to deal with. I knew I was where I was destined to be. MM2/ELT USS NIMITZ CVN-68 80-84. 3.1 84-18.
