Gun metal gray, non skid, thickly applied
Hydraulic fluid, Skydraul, bordering on toxic
Chili simmering in galley attracting a jolt to the system followed quickly by heartburn
Fifth meal of the day in the middle of the night called Mid Rats
Small desk with round dial safe built in as well as letter slots
Twelve inch linoleum tiles, black with scuff marks from combat boot's soles
Steel bunk beds with eight inch lip to hold mattress curved upwards at head and foot
Elevator for aircraft from hangar deck to flight deck positioning planes for launch, catapault, arresting gear (cables), buzzing flouresent lights, screeching, slamming, vibrations
Playboy pin ups scotch taped to walls of roommates bunk
Blown up picture (poster size) of my wife in a flight suit in front of an A-4J after a fast taxi ride I gave her when I got my wings

I really got a feeling for grey gun metal and I'm looking forward to reading it. Esp including part of your wife.
I especially liked the description of the elevator with all the different movements of the airplanes. Looking forward to hearing more about it. - Sue G.

I liked the chili image and the very different descriptions of things that are all in the same- or close to it place
hope that made sense- very intriguing
