losing a whole day
you ever had a day slip by you unnoticed or time fly by so fast that you lose all sense of time and date? warp speed. our ship has speed ahead 23 hours. we skipped a day. an important day, to which without that day then sunday wouldn’t be a holiday routen (our day off!). we had maybe 5 hours of saturday, but yet, i still had to stand the sat-sunday midnight to 4am watch. see this vital time frame? without this time frame, sunday (today) would’ve been a cake day.
how i miss inn ‘n’ out. but not as much as my family, and land.
navy life. work, standing watches, eat, gym, academic class, read, movies, and sleep. what else is to be expected from a broke down ship? take last night for an example… the engineering officer wanted to switch generates. unfortunately the generator that it’d be switched to will not start – prognosis of why it woun’t start: unknown. prognosis of switching generators: canceled, or else face coniquence of being dead in the water, and have spaces in the ship flood. a glorous day here on the boxer.

Aww…I’m sure that in ‘n out, your family and land miss you just as much.
That’s a pretty cool photo. It reminds me of this photo that my friend took for a famous fetish/pin-up photographer.
Yes I like the photo too
but being stuck on a boat has to stuck
Broke down ship.. Not a lot of comfort to any of us, but the pits for you when you are stuck there.. Hang in there, at least you got Xanga to help you get thru!!
Another day ona boat eh? Hopefully you enjoy more of it then you detest.
