I remember steaming the north atlantic for NGFS ops in 25-40 ft, my buddy and I were video taping it and saying to our selves "what the hell are us snipes doing up here in the nose bleed section". It was pretty crazy.

Worst I ever hit was 20 and that was bad enough for me. I didn't get sick, but I sure was tired for about 2 days straight. It's always fun to take two steps up a ladder and find yourself at the top.
