Just one more reason to further the case of Ohio being the “Florida” of the Midwest

Amazing you could have so much trouble from a 5 minute miscalculation…
Yeah one would think. Had done a light workout at the tiny gym we had on the compound about two hours before the dive. Thought that enough time had passed before the dive but it obviously had not.
I believe to this day if we had done a regular PADI table dive, and not had such a long walk through the surf to get to the entry I might have been alright. But I miscalculated, didn’t adhere to the rules and paid the price…. my cross to bear.

Pressure induced bone disease. Nitrogen bubbles form in the bones and turn them into Swiss cheese. Usually the hips are most affected. Not something a recreational diver ordinarily has to worry about. It takes years of exposure at depth. Typically an occupational hazard of commercial and military divers. Modern, more accurate dive tables supposedly mitigate the risk.
It’s called DON, Dysbaric Osteonecrosis.
I suffer from it and it f-ing sucks.
The nitrogen build up in the ends of the big bones kills the bone’s ability to pass synovial fluid to the joints, leading to premature cartilage wear.
Got it primarily from a spearfishing dive in the Red Sea where we were using Navy dive tables for the hunt.
Stayed at 150 for 2 minutes too long, and at 80 for 3 mins too long. This was just before dive computers became popular. Was doing my last safety stop at 20 ft when I knew something was wrong. Badically the onset of “The Bends” but not full blown. When I hit the surface it felt like The Incredible Hulk had a shoulder in each hand and was crushing them with all his might. Made my kidney stone feel like a walk in the park by comparison.
Got back to the vehicle (shore dive) and took a boatload of aspirin to relieve the symptoms. Probably should have gone to the chamber in town to help but I was too young and dumb. Figured the worst was over.
Have had 6 shoulder surgeries, including 4 replacements through the years. Knee’s are almost bone on bone and hips are probably going as well.

As usual, with my impeccable timing ability, I dumped my 100 shares of IREN this morning.

My guess
Russia/China badazz pilot shoots down/kills Rooster in a small skirmish action that quickly escalates.
I’m really strong on this one because one thing that made the original TG so captivating was the tragedy of Goose’s death. TG Maverick lacked this type of gripping tragic scene, but still was magnificent.
Mav goes nuclear and goes after bad guy… loses first dogfight but survives.
Comes back, gets his mojo back together and in a lengthy dogfight reaffirms his Top Dog of the Sky position by killing enemy badazz.
Hangman is somewhere in the picture and Mav hands him the reigns to the franchise for future flick

Red tail insignia on the pic of vertical stab is from the 494th “Panthers”. Definitely from an F-15
PJ’s doing work getting the pilot and wizzo back to safe territory.
No one, repeat NO ONE , can get aircrews back home safe like USAF Pararescue units.
Best of the best….sir!
(Edit… and before anyone tries to give me chit about it let it be known I spent over three years of my career at “The Heath” ;)
