No, my knees are too shitty for the Navy, thanks to ice hockey.
After I graduated university in early '05 with my marine sciences degree, I went to work up in Alaska on the Bering Sea. I was a federal observer on the fishing fleet there (second largest fleet in the world), basically sailing on the boats for three months at a time and collecting the biological data of total catch, species in the catch, sex ratio, size, etc. to help manage the fisheries.
You probably don't get the show "Deadliest Catch" in Australia, but if it ever makes its way over, it's about crab fishermen on the Bering, and I was working in the same conditions on similar boats.
I'm probably done with that now that I'm going for my master's degree in oceanography come fall, but I'm sticking to studying fish. So who knows, maybe I'll make it to Australia some day!
Don't know what you get in the way of fish down there, but if you get Pacific cod or most any kind of sole or flounder, chances are it's from the Bering Sea.
Women are masters of the whole mind-fuck game. Men aren't easy to figure out, but by God it's easy to mess with their heads...!
