I know but they didn’t pick up my bag and quite frankly I’d rather wash my own undies than pay two euros. That’s highway robbery! Further update, luggage will be in tomorrow morning pinky swear. I could really use my chargers I’m running out of batteries.

lol. My rotator flight is delayed for 24 hours, and they’re putting us up in hotels for the night. And we’re not allowed to pull our luggage, so we get to see who actually has a 72 hour bag prepped. AlternateNu fucked around with this message at 17:01 on Jun 3, 2020 |

Not having your own stateroom, head and leather recliner in your contract is for suckers. 10 more days of this poo poo and I can safely quarantine at home with the 6 cases of wine and rum I got before I left.

Yeah, it just became official. Like 1500 people. First wave in a few weeks, second wave a few after. "expect until the end of next FY" for some of them. WHEEEEEE. I'm SurgeMain, btw; we've known for weeks now, but it was supposed to be hush hush.

1337_ScriptKiddie posted:A bailar la rona. Turns out a good percentage of bubbas are old dudes. Pretty much. The Shipyards are also very densely packed and transmission was exceptionally high in the early days. PSNS was apparently quite hard hit. There's also (I guess) a bunch of ships that were delayed rotation and are going to all be docking for avails and then turning right back around, so let's see if this "We have an entire Reserve Program that is one of the largest USNR budget items that purports to be able to Surge to do Maintenance" works. What a time to be alive.

Yeah my GS boss caught it early on somehow and he’s a loving hermit with no friends. I’d have people over for BBQ but I’m kinda stuck elsewhere right now.

The Superintendents house at usna is still named after the confederate captain of the former USS Merrimack who sailed it out of Hampton roads and sank two US Navy ships. Buchanan would have been in command for the famous duel against the USS Monitor had he not been exposed on deck shooting at American sailors with a carbine when he got shot in the leg by a marine.
