Work actually happens. We are a customer based operation and, according to the commander, we are very good at it. He has only been here a couple of months and I think that he will soon realize how untrue that statement is. (This is where you laugh) But the point is that work actually happens. I do have several projects going on. The biggest one is at the marina. The only place where I have been working on a high voltage disconnect and turn around and be able to see the entire lagoon.
There are several noteworthy boats at the marina. There are some LCM's and LCU's. This is the "Great Bridge."
It is the largest work boat in the fleet here at Kwaj. It transports large items to and from the outer islands.
This is the "Double Eagle." It is currently up on dry dock for repairs. My projects is electrical boxes located all around it. I am not working on the boat just on some big plugs for the welders to use. I don't know when this boat was built but from the look of it, it can't be less than 50 years old. Crazy.
That is the small boat marina behind me. Those are the boats that I am allowed to rent out for diving or fishing. That one there is one of the older ones and is great for diving. It is a Boston Whaler and has a section in the side that can be removed for quick access in and out of the boat. Notice how that ramp to the dock is almost level. The tide is the highest that I have ever seen it. There can be a 5 foot difference between high and low tide. The ramp is normally steeper than what is shown there. By the way, I am at work in this picture. And just in case there is someone reading this that still doesn't believe me,
So there it is, me at work a whole 50 feet in the air and and 55 feet above sea level, at high tide that is.
We currently have a plane here from Orbital Sciences. It is a L1011 that has a very big rocket attached to it is belly. I have had a small part in setting up everything needed for this plane and the mission that it is here for. 
And there it is. I have been promised a tour of the plane and I will be sure to get some pics of the rocket too. You can see it attached to the belly of the plane and is not a small one that is for sure. This mission has been posted on the Internet by Orbital Science so I don't think I am doing anything wrong by posting this picture. So don't worry, I don't have to kill you now that I have told you. :) That is some of the things going on here on Kwaj.
