Question for enlisted Goons: When your DIVO has a job for you and he says "We need to take care of whatever task" when he of course really means you need to take care of it, is it more annoying than if he just comes right out and says "You need to do this" or does him saying "we" make you feel more like part of a team? Asking for a friend.

Finally got around to watching the first EP of TNT's The Last Ship. A less accurate portrayal of SWO life than Battleship.

One of the best parts of The Last Ship was when the crew assembled on the flight deck for all hands call, and the Co steps out of OOD station #3 to address them.

germskr posted:Glad to see that no log book was safe from the watch stander's boredom, even back then. Wonder what other doodles were on the inside. My section leaders were total dicks about it if I drew in the logbook on watch >:/ BT quick question, What's the name of the ditty that plays 5 minutes before Reville? I can only remember it as the "5 minute warning" song but I know it has to have a formal name. It's the one that's the "starters to your posts" tune they play on racetracks.

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.

Dear Cyber Awareness Dev Team: please let the game include an option to be even meaner to the stupid looking fucker who asks to use your BlackBerry to check his email. I hate his idiot face and I'd never let him touch my phone even if it were allowed.
