Snowdens Secret posted:Note that it's not going to a surface ship-type business day schedule (which would be a disaster) but instead stretches the existing six-hour shifts to eight. Which makes me wonder how meals are handled. But then it mentions "(they) structured shifts for officers in a way that allowed all of them to be awake and work together for part of each day." Because if there's one thing sub officers complain about it's that they don't see enough of each other. Here here! Cooks would make more money spending no money on midrats.... But as a NAV-ET, I could imagine that spending my time Pt/St as NavSup would be made even more miserable with long shifts like that. Not to mention, if you have a watch like Fathometer that is often augmented by offgoing and oncoming watchstanders, that is now 12 hours of continuous watch.

Cerekk posted:We just did 8 hour watches for 4 months and it was fantastic for everyone that wasn't a daywalker or an electrician. I actually just brought that up to my old Eng who is in PXO right now. I assume turnover and dinner are at 1930.... how are you going to burn a flick if you cannot start until 2100.... The other thing, that bones one watch section with the midnight routine every night. Imagine trying to find offgoing JO's to rig for dive more than half way into their offgoing...

genderstomper58 posted:#conerproblems #daywalkerproblems I was a rack guy. I do my head call as early as I can get away with, shower, and hit the rack. Beauty of QMOW is that I had the laptop to get all of my work done and write my email home while on watch...

I don't see message traffic much anymore... I have a SIPR for movements and that's it. Over here with the hovering navy, I'm pretty out of the loop

A couple years ago.... we were sharing a pier with them and I watched them lower the radar on a dude's head.... he was fine... That same in-port I saw them open a main ballast tank vent in port.... A-Gang, who was on the pier having a pow-wow, sprinted towards the boat.

It's a boat. Terrible things are to be expected.
