no bones about it posted:I can't even remember great lakes except for one sole experience, wherein I realized I was in a frozen hell. The weather went from almost 70 degrees one day to <10 the next, and about 6 feet of lake effect snow fell overnight. I showed up in April and left in June. The memory that sticks with me is standing watch in an empty compartment a week or so away from graduation. It was warm, the trees were green again, and I could hear them rustling gently in the wind and thinking it was actually kind of nice. It was a short moment.

Are they going to reopen that berthing when it's fixed or would they change it for a different purpose. Would be creepy to be assigned to the berthing where all those dudes died.

Has it been explained earlier why they collided in the first place? Was the nav team asleep? The radar off?

M_Gargantua posted:The San Francisco colliding with an underwater mountain at flank. I've heard the story multiple times that while only the one guy who was smoking died, but that hours before they had the sonar dome open for cleaning on field day, which would have doomed the entire ship. Is driving the boat at flank while having a critical WT door open something that happens often would you say?

I wonder also if perhaps there was a nadir of talent going in during the 90s and now those people are the COs. I base that solely on the basis that they let me through.

M_Gargantua posted:About six of them will flunk A school I remember seeing a stat of all enlistees and was surprised how few completed their initial 4/5/6 year commitment. Also this thread made me google image RTC and that place is almost completely unrecognizable to me. The tunnel between the two halves of the base is there but prettier. The intake building looks exactly the same as I remember it. Other than that... I saw really old pictures of rtc and those b/e pics were the ones I recognized. So what I’m saying is...

Make sure to check out the museum that’s filled with ships carved from bones made by prisoners. Also the best AC in the hot Annapolis summer is in John Paul Jones’ crypt.

Evil SpongeBob posted:Yeah, despite the insertion (for some/most) of a massive ring knocker ego, Annapolis was a good town to be in college. I even spent one summer there taking an extra course because it was more exciting than going back to butt gently caress GA. I enjoyed the poo poo out of summer school. It was the only time it felt like an actual college and not like that Petri dish of ego and wanna be marines.

You’ve seen the parade uniforms they already have right? They should bring back those for actual officers along with the mop head gold epaulettes and the pirates of penzance hats.  Proust Malone fucked around with this message at 00:03 on Mar 18, 2019 |
