Yup, we started out having to do it every six months. After a couple years it was annually. What I never figured was why our crew was punished because our rotation had us do the ascent in March. I don't like March in New London. When the tower was OOC we finally got cut a break and did the ascent in Rock Lake. At least it was Spring. Boy that water was cold too. We did it only once then somebody must have realized a free ascent from 12ft wasn't much of a training excersize. I miss all that stuff. Thanks for the photo.

Here's the tower at Pearl - I worked out of the big building in the middle for two years prior to retirement there!

And right in front of that big white building you can see a row of green bushes and a canopy covering the area. That is a rest area with pop machines and benches that line the sides. A great place where we used to take a break from in port work. the trick was to see who could out fumble who looking throuh their pockets for change to put in the pop machine. At the time, it didn't seem like much, but today it is a great memory.

Ahhhhhhhhh, Modern design, not near as suspensful (if thats a word) as the old tanks.
and all them new creature comfort areas at Pearl sure werent there in 59-62, took guys off Growler thru that tank every time we got back off a BARPAC run. Nice warm clear water making free decents and watching the guys blow and go.

Doesn't look like it would be "half as much fun" as the old tower...
