to be fair studying for the swe can be a total crapshoot and depends highly on whether your study program aligned with the course-writer's whims. the 2011 bmc swe looked like my 2006 sk1 swe for example

Oh I know, it simply doesnt excuse the massive ammount of whinning I am going to be hearing.

On a side note, this is making the rounds:


I guess they can't afford a deck force or something?

An ETC and a SN from my last unit shared this, kinda wanted to point out if I cherry picked a picture from the cutter it would also look like rusty pile of white poo poo.

But like with all dumb poo poo those two share I just ignored it and moved on with my life.

We never pulled into homeport looking that bad, in fact I know of at least 1 time we waited to set special sea detail until some of the deckies cleaned poo poo up. Especially bad when you consider the Bertholf is a pseudo-flagship for the fleet.

There is also the fact the that the Bertholf has spent more time in the yards than out on actual missions. Still its kinda a poo poo thing to to to cherry pick pictures in order to prove a point that amounts to absolutely nothing.

Also thats not the Diligence

I liked Astoria, if you are gonna rent I would suggest downtown Astoria. A lot of people lived in Warrenton because I think it is cheaper, but it is kind of a shithole. It was the most beautiful place I ever lived in, the nature around is awesome. Sector is like a 15 min drive, traffic is minimal, closest airport is Portland which is like 1.5 hours away.

This is p much what people have suggested me.

I hope Annies is still there. The absolute worst strip club I've ever visited, one of the chiefs from NMLBS was dating the only attractive stripper there. I have vague memories of riding around in the back of her pickup truck screaming coxswainly with said chief, drunk as hell.

I was already given the Annies talk by an OS1.
