tinwhistle Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Does anyone out there know the name of or the number of the foreward bulk head on the C-130E? If memory serves me correctly, it's the bulk head that houses all the electrical panels. I suppose you could call it the "front wall" of the cargo compartment. For some reason this is bothering me!!!!....Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mt.crewchief Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Chris, Now that's a good one!!! That is the only bulkhead number I remember!!! Ken That's where I chained my tool box to keep it from getting misplaced!!! Of course when we were moving the Marines from Chu Lai to Iwakuni Jap. my tool box disappeared!!! --it was deemed a "combat loss" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinwhistle Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 Combat loss!?!? Come on now, Ken, you can do better than that!!!!! Speaking of tool boxes: when I was going through all the rigamaroe of discharge I took my tool box to the tool shed to turn it in knowing that I was short a few pieces, and wondering how much that was going to cost me. Come to find out, they had no paper work for my tool box. Wish I'd have known that ahead of time!! By the way; nice to see ya Giz. Ken and I were just wondering where all the "Old Guys" had gone.

herky130fe Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I thought it was called the pee walll since that where the urinals were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metalbasher Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I know I changed a few FS 245 lower bulkhead caps due to extensive corrosion from those urinals mounted on FS 245. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larry myers Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I know I changed a few FS 245 lower bulkhead caps due to extensive corrosion from those urinals mounted on FS 245. One of the reasons I riveted those two 245 bulkhead mounted urinals closed. Didn't think it was too much trouble to walk to the ramp to pee. So, hopefully on my aircraft, instead of corroded bulkhead caps Metalbasher was replacing the sloping longeron. Which I'm sure he's very good at also. On the AMST IOT&E we, maintenance, insisted the airframe and latrine be separated by noncorrosive material. I've been told the C-17 latrine is contained within a fibreglass lined compartment.

davis Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) I remember a urinal at 245 on the E`s, Man, I hated when those things pluged up......What a mess. Sometimes you could not get to the urinal in the back because of the Cargo loads. Edited May 17, 2012 by davis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EClark Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 We hauled two loads to Korea in early 68 that took the hold cargo bay you could not get to the back. And that thing was heavy you could just get through the jump doors. This was from Kadena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the AMST IOT&E we, maintenance, insisted the airframe and latrine be separated by noncorrosive material. I've been told the C-17 latrine is contained within a fiberglass lined compartment. This is true...C-17s use a lav module (little box like on civilian airliners) which contains the toilet assembly. In the middle 1982, C-130s starting removing the urinals altogether and installed a self-contained lavatory, complete with blue fluid and 16 gal holding tank. J model has the same set up and in addition to that, the Js come equipped with two self contained urinals (basically a funnel and holding tank) placed at FS 245. Most I have seen are safety wired shut to prevent their use (and cleaning) thus forcing people to use the self contained system in the back.

C130Hcc Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 On H3's we would safety wire the urinals closed at 245, but when we carried troops, some jarhead would cut the wire an use it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fltsload Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 When hauling Marines, we would put up a sign saying "Officers only" on the urinals at FS. 245, even if they were wired or screwed shut . The Gunny's would die laughing cause the young 2nd and 1st Lieutenants wouldn't go to the back to use the ones at 737. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlg6016 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Alright the tools I can understand, But why are you guys so interested in watching us pee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bischoffm Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Because zipper suits cannot figure out how to sit down and pee that is why FS737 is so corroded and sloping longerons get changed, they keep missing that big ass urinal opening!!! Talon II's still have active! urinals at FS245 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry myers Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I sure like those late model oversize urinals Metalbasher posted. Makes it much easier to hit the target for us guys with short stacks and low manifold pressure. BTW, where is the wench? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giz Gizz, Did you ever have to empty the honey bucket on them? I was always told that it was the Loadmaster's job but I dont ever remember one of you guys hanging around long enough to do that!!! Guess who did have to empty them!!!! By the way, when I was a temporary loadmaster for 90 days on a Blind Bat crew at Ubon, I made my break as fast as I could as soon as we landed!!! I kinda figured it was the Crew Chiefs job during that time!!!!!!! Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
