You should have, it's an important part of being a sailor. I've started a few good rumors. One was that we were going to have a port visit in Beijing. Another was that there was a feud between the FCs and STGs over whether the book 100 Years of Solitude, or Cry the Beloved Country was better and that it had culminated in a fistfight.

There's nothing more I enjoyed on deployments than going downn to the smoke deck and listening to all the rumors the Sailors were passing around. It's funny how much Sailors would open up to a random O about all the goings on down there.

That’s the beauty of it, it’s mundane enough yet with enough specific detail/content to register on the plausible meter

I'm going to guess that the juice is 50mg per (measurement of fluid that is larger than what fits in the reservoir), not 50mg per puff/session or whatever.

It's mg/ml. 1 ml, depending on what kind of base is used is going to be slightly above 1 gram, or 1000 mg. 12-18 mg/ml is comparable to a cigarette. I would guess 50 would be like smoking an entire cigarette in one drag.

I really wonder what kind of vape shenanigans are happening in the Navy. A few of the smokers in my shop had figured out how to use a shop vac to suck up smoke and then filter it out so they could smoke in the fan room connected to the shop.

Anyone been to Naples and have any suggestions for places to eat/stuff to do? Only there for a week and not really sure what our schedule will be like so I kind of want to skip learning on my own where the avoid at all costs touristy type stuff is. The week before we'll be in Bahrain (during Ramadan no less  ) so drinking will obviously be important.

Don't go to Naples unless you're visiting the areas on the hill. Other than that, there's Capri and Sorrento - both are gorgeous and will leave you with memories for a lifetime. Just be sure you can budget a full day for Capri. But sea-level Naples is like Barcelona without the charm. And you're just as likely to be robbed/pickpocketed in either.

The week before we'll be in Bahrain (during Ramadan no less Naples is ok but really, hop the train and go to Rome. Take a couple hundred Euros out of the bank and go tour Rome as it is cool as gently caress. I went up to St. Peter's Square and wandered all around the city, got lost on some side streets, ate good food, bought counterfeit merch. Go tour the Coliseum in Rome while you're at it. There's a train that runs from Naples to Rome in like 40 minutes. It's touristy but it's really loving good, and you will never ever see it again if you don't do it now. Take a good camera with you. I have pictures kicking around on my hard drive from where I walked around Athens in Greece, I walked up to the Acropolis and wandered all around the Parthenon and took a bunch of pics, didn't buy any touristy poo poo though. orange juche fucked around with this message at 23:10 on May 24, 2018 |

I strongly recommend you walk into literally any restaurant anywhere and get the special with the house red. If they ask if you want lemoncello for dessert, yes; they probably made it in the back room.

Pompeii is cool AF, recommend you get there in the morning hours. Also there is another buried city called herculaneum which is super cool too. Other than those sites and a couple museums Naples is pretty much poo poo. Goto Rome or the Amafi coast.

Thanks everyone. We're going to end up flying in on a Friday and having the weekend off so we'll hit Rome on Saturday and then try for Capri or Sorrento on Sunday. Herculaneum seems relatively close so we'll try that on a week day if we get off early.

Herculaneum seems relatively close so we'll try that on a week day if we get off early. The hydrofoil is cheaper/quicker leaving from Sorrento to Capri, but it's like the difference of 20 vs. 40 minutes. The slow boat takes about an hour and a half once it gets underway (again, quicker when leaving from Sorrento). I remember it feeling like longer leaving from Naples proper, but I think we waited at the dock for a while. If it's a clear enough day, have fun seeing the *gigantic* jellyfish/man-o-wars in the water on the way there. Plus you get to check "rode on a hydrofoil" off your list.
