On the Job: "I know my Mom is not going to like seeing me hanging over the edge like this, but this is my position. I kind of like it; no idea where we are going,
but yet I always know where we have been! ... the thin dark line is my ICS cord so I can talk, the thicker green webbing that goes from the center of my back and across the deck is my Gunners Belt or "safety tether". The fun part is finding that fine line between to short and to long. If the belt is too long then I can hang off the ramp when I am on this side of the weapon (that's bad), but If it is too short then I cannot get behind the gun if I move to the other side of the ramp. I have discovered a couple of tricks to make it easier, but there is no real solution. Oh well, it’s not going to stop me. -- from Marine Staff Sergant Andrew Crissman "On the Edge" on Flickr
