We really are getting used to this. Today we did a horizontal replenishment and a vertical replenishment. (We pull up along side a support ship. H-Rep: run fuel hoses across, and also run pallets along a cable. Vert-Rep: a help carries pallets and parts between their flight deck and ours.)

At-sea replenishment is an interesting evolution, but I've seen it many times. So I didn't even stop to watch. But while I was up on the flight deck working on an seat gripe, I saw dozens of Marines from the other (newly-arrived) units with cameras, snapping away. Ah yes, I did that. And I've got dozens of photos on flickr now to prove it. So I don't feel the urge to do it again.
