But yeah, back to drawing on watch, I ended up just taking a blank notebook with me so I could draw in it during boring watches. Some of my fav stuff was drawn on the midwatch and the 2-7.

I wish shore installations did colors the same way ships do. Whistle, flag goes up/down. Whistle, carry on. No stupid national anthem.

If drivers aren't sitting AT ATTENTION in their car while the anthem plays on a shore installation to commemorate the remembrance of remembering that yes, we have both a flag AND an anthem our entire national defense structure shall collapse

Maybe one day we will get a CNO who never held a sea command, dictates that ships underway do colors the same way as a shore command and a shitload of nautical accidents happen. That'd be fun

Colors during Rimpac at Pearl Harbor can last upwards of ten minutes. Just don't ever be outside.

Yoko does it so loud that there's a quarterly bitchfest from the Dependas who don't like being awakened early. It usually devolves into lots of popcorn memes and cries of "Communist!" and a few "well if you weren't up all night blowing everyone you would get more sleep. "

At least that's what "right" looks like.

I always thought it was a bit silly to stop the car. Then you always have the group of dudes running during colors and then the motivator that's not sure if that's ok or not and tries to call them out anyways in an angry voice to seem assertive

Sitting at home applying for jobs and it occurred to me check out my status and see if I was gained into a unit yet. Called up the NOSC and found out yes, yes you are gained into an IS unit here's a number to call. Oh by the way they muster this weekend (I mustered at the NOSC on the 17th shuffling papperwork). Great I say, wow glad I called to get this info! I had recalled that they didnt muster at the NOSC but at another facility so I ask for the address. They didnt know. But dont worry they told me... If I miss muster I can just show up the next weekend at the NOSC and claim that nobody told me. What the living gently caress. How does the NOSC not know were units muster?

Had a Marine Corps major at the academy who would stop whatever he was doing and go outside so he can observe colors. He considered colors an "opportunity to exercise my patriotism."
