Are you kidding me. I was a boot camp drill instructor for nearly 6 years at the Orlando Naval Training Center(it closed in 1997). When we picked up our companies on the first day of training it was all about getting them haircuts, teaching them how to march to the barraks and the chow hall. On the second day trust me nobody wanted to be there anymore, but they were too scared to run. That was the best job I have ever had in my life. I wasn't there just to collect a paycheck. For me it was about changing peoples lives for the better, and helping them to figure out what to do with their lives. I had a house in Lake Mary for 15 years. After I retired from the Navy I ended up working as a "Ride and Show", rollercoaster tech for 6 years at Universal Studios "Islands of Adventure".

Well the only thing left over now is the Hospital and it is a permenant VA Hospital now. The base was converted into a "Special" housing area with low income and high end homes built in the same development. So that the rich and the poor can live together. I think the Commissary and the PX are still in operation, but I am not really sure. It is hard to see it now after spending over 7 years working on that base in one way or another. It is like a friend died. I sold both of my homes in Orlando right before the big housing bust and got the hell out of there. Our home jumped from $90K to right at $300K, and then down to $80K in just two years time. I got out just in time with over $100K in my pocket.

We actually lived on the base in navy housing while my dad was being dicharged, around 78 or so. I remeber going to the gym to play basketball. I also remember going to the lake & renting the paddle boats they use to have .

Hey BrianG since this is a relitively new technology and there does not seem to much out there in the way of a charger designed for these cells, maybe once you get a good design setup you might think about making a few of them and selling them on here for those of us who really do not have a safe way to charge the cells we just purchased??? Just a thought, and I would be more than happy to purchase one after you do your testing and determine that your setup works safely & efficiently. So what do you think?
