i tried putting an entry in, to tell everyone how the ship is quite rocky right now, that anything not anchored or secured for sea has been rolling across the room. like those old funny ship movies, where one minute the man’s at the desk, then the next his across the room. it’s a lot like that here. and then there’s the training that we’ve been conducting, which has made me feel like i’m back in high school or playing cops and robbers; i.e. the gun quarters today we had “assimulations for hostile ships.”

but all in all, things have been pretty good. then i go around the ship to try to use the computer and it’s like a lost cause, like trying to smoke while we’re doing a general quarters training. but i’ve been able to get a chit for aerographer’s mate and then i’m doing a little training on my own time (never working hours) for that rate.

going to bed now… be back in san dog for a busy weekend again and then leave on wensday. i’m excited…. goodnight…
