If I were younger I'd be on this like stink on

Somehow I don't think a lot of folks here will be lining up for a job at an air base in Guam. But I could be wrong.

I can't figure out if it's sea water or way lube that runs through his veins, but Stan certainly has a passion for his chosen profession. Later generations simply live for a paycheck (in most cases... not all) and could not care less about what is is they do for a living. "Show me the money" is #1 in their lives. JMHO.

It would certainly be close enough to Perth for vacations.  Ditto for Subic Bay Philippines.

With the first responsibility a maintenance position, and the second a machinist, it sounds like you would have to make your own repair parts.

Worked at a crown plant (pop bottle & beer bottle caps) where I did just that.

Sure doesn't pay very well. Machinists here at work make half again as much per hour, and lots of overtime.
