Trip from hell

So it came time to drive to mayport, fl to report to USS JFK.
Day1
Drove from Syracuse NY to Emporia Va. No problems
Day2
Started off into NC around 6 in the morning on the 26th of Jan. About a mile into NC my car went spinning out of control I ended up facing the wrong way on 95 luckily there were no cars behind me, I thought i didn't hit anything.
I finally got to jax Then i got lost. So i get out of my car to fill up my gas tank and get a map. When i got out i noticed that my fender was pushed in, so that kind of me off. I finally got to the base, at this point it was raining pretty hard. So after an hour I finally figured out where to go. I checked in and then I went to go to a hotel. So I was driving along, then I went through a huge puddle. Needless to say my injen cai sucked up water, at least thats what i think.
Now my engine is knocking and they are flying me out to the ship tommarow

Yeah, it sucks to have to leave something unfinished or hanging behind ... sorry to hear that.

Best of luck with your deployment though... where are you off to, and what do you do on the JFK?

"close-in weapons system" -- like the Phalanx? Wicked...

Those things fire like 1000 rounds a minute or something?
