Welcome to Vol 8 of the rogue cup challenges. I will be the narrator, @DuckforcoveR is player 1, and @iamtat will be player 2.
Two truths one lie.
Claim #1: On deployment while in the US Navy, a nuclear submarine recieved a red cross message for one of their sailors. The ship I was on was tasked with meeting up with the sub in the middle of a storm to get that sailor off and flown home. I flew with him on the helicopter to Panama where he got on an airplane to go home.
Claim #2: A good friend of mine took me to New York City, where he was from. I was 19 at the time and used his drivers license to get into bars. I drunkenly stumbled towards the bathroom door and as it opened I nearly stepped right into none other than Alex Rodriguez.
Claim #3: Mel Kiper, the NFL draft guy, lives a few miles from my house. Him and his wife are regular customers at my wife's restaurant. Over the years they've become friends with her and we have been to their house for dinner a few times.
Ok, hope y'all are ready! DuckforcoveR is up first.

Looks like some great claims.
Can't wait to get started.

Don't see why the non-official players here can't ask questions if they want.

@"IAMTAT" @"FauxMulder"
Guys, non-official players (or members) were always allowed to ask questions, from the beginning. It is up to the Narrator at hand to decide if he wants to answer those questions or not.
And since there are no more advantage to being Player #1, compared to Player #2, as both players can now choose the same claim, the relevance of alternate questions becomes questionable. It's just easier for the Narrator if both players are around as they ask their questions alternately but when one player is amiss, I don't see why the player at hand needs to hold back. :)

I was a helicopter mechanic. AD3(AW) is the rank. Just means aviation machinist mate 3rd class air warfare qualified. Usually when the helicopter was flying to land they would take a mechanic with them just for any issues, if they needed to get fuel, things like that. Luckily the pilots on my detachment really trusted me and I almost always got to go.

We had rosemary chicken with garlic mashed potatoes. He doesn't eat seafood even though my wife's restaurant is mainly seafood. His wife however, LOVES seafood. We live on the bay so it's big around here.

It was around 2006-2007 so we were drinking Yeager bombs. I was somewhere between buzzed and blackout drunk. It was the type of thing where we were both startled. I think he was 6 foot forever because I was staring at his chest and felt like it took me an hour to look all the way to his face.
I said holly shit and shook his hand then he went into a side room private type of thing.

Who and where was your crew chief on the helicopter?

We dont really have a crew chief per se. We have the HAC, helicopter aircraft commander (pilot), the co pilot they both sit upfront. In the back is the AW which is the air warfare guy. He's enlisted and is the rescue swimmer/gunner/weapon system guy.
I and the chief from the sub were in the back with him in crew seats. Which are shitty canvas and steel hung from the roof of the cabin.
