AECS(AW/SW) ret

Just a young AEAA reporting onboard USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67). Was a huge disappointment because I was reporting onboard a ship that wasn't even in the water but, drydock at NNSY, Portsmouth, VA. Checked into AIMD, IM-3 Dic, W/C 650 with two PO2s and me. Our current tasker was to remove the green asbestos tile and the best way to remove the "glue" under the tile was to use strong coffee. very strong coffee. So, my first day after I checked in was to pour the coffee from the massive coffee maker onto the deck and get ready to swab the glue. So, I reached for the coffee maker and was told to stop, I was getting ready to pour the "drinking" coffee onto the floor, not the glue melting coffee. However, I had been drinking from the glue removal coffee maker vice the drinking coffee maker, my hands were shaking so bad from the caffeine rush I had to sit for a little bit. After we finished pouring our new acrylic deck, I threw the second pot in the trash!!!
