That's about right. Driving a Krusty is just like sleeping with a fat chick or riding a moped. It's all fun till your friends find out about it.

Do you get to see much of the NDT guys? I work in X-ray doing inspection on aerospace castings and was wondering what equipment they used on the slope.
We are currently in a transition to digital X-ray. Most of our work is done with 320-420kV X-ray tubes in block houses. No Live source work.
Thanks it's been a very informative read!

Don's assessment is correct. Live Source. You do it for a few years then graduate to reading film and documentation,... in the office and let the younger generation get exposed!
Just finished a 28 day 'hitch', it's abot 31 below with the wind chill. Actually looking forward to the 2500 mile commute!

Back at the start of this thread there was a map of alaska showing Milne Points location in Alaska, and how far north it is. As previously stated, MPU covers 94 Square miles and is a Bird Sanctuary, at least in the Summer. We have somewhere between 100,000 to 500,000 birds, mostly water fowl. Canadian Geese are number one, but we get a lot of other species as well.

The Prudhoe Bay Oilfield is just a minute part of the "North Slope Borough". The Borough is the largest county in the United States. IF it were a State, it would be the 10 largest state in the union, but as a County it is larger than half of California, the 3rd largest state. It covers some 95,000 Square Miles, roughly the size of Oregon, and only has a population of 8000 permanent inhabitants. There are more than 10 square miles and 16 lakes for each alaskan that lives here. And there are probably somewhere around 100 to 500 Million Birds!
