I had the honor of sitting EOOW for a plant cool down.
"This is one of the coolest things you'll ever do," said the Engineer.
"Yes Sir," I said, "that is the point."

Standing EDO the other day, talking with another JO:
Me: "...oh and then, we had to tag out the wye strainer for that work."
JO: "Why?"
Me: "Strainer. Yes." *Smile*
I watched him go through all seven stages of grief while everyone else in manuevering lost our shit.

Remember folks, you can just tell strangers anything.
A guy at the charging stations tried to tell me that Oxygen is the 4th element on the "periodical" table... So I told him my only real hobby is modding thrifted fax machines.

If you're not TAO qualified, your opinion on what happened on GETTYSBURG has very little weight.
Even if you ARE TAO qualified, you weren't there
Wait for the full report.
Every time a lessons learned report comes out, people are so quick to say "that couldn't be me."
It could. You're no better.

We have now officially begun... Day 1 of printing everything in an obnoxiously bright color until the ITs can replace the black toner in the printer.
XO: "DCA... why is this all red?"
Me: "Because, Sir, that's a color we can print."

My Chief was scheduled for back surgery this week. As we finished our end-of-day all hands call and began to disperse, my Sailors made sure to wish him well by yelling, down the pier, in earshot of damn near everyone, "Have fun getting your back blown out, Chief!"
Ah, Sailors. Nothin like 'em.
Ah, Sailors. Nothin like 'em.

I've had khaki 2POCs for a few months now. Here are my complaints:
-less breathable than NWUs
-gets very gray and dingey almost immediately upon being pulled out of the wash
-the Velcro is cheap, flimsy, and does not secure the pockets well
-it's the same as the Ft. Leavenworth prisoner uniform

Ugh. My vitamin D levels are back to "dangerously low." I've been taking a supplement every morning with 1000 mg of Vitamin D. Anyone have any tips? Has anyone else here dealt with a Vitamin D deficiency?

Is it just the people I happen to know, or does EVERY 55+ year old like to brag about their high school football scores? Like my hometown FB group is just 70 year olds repeatedly talking about "that one game on a friday night in 1974." Did they just... Stop having lives after that? Is this hell?

I constantly experience the internet version of "forgetting why I walked into a room."
Had a great idea for a post/tweet, open up the app, and **fwoosh** the idea is immediately gone.

Life as a Sailor is just constantly going "shit, where's my grease pen?" And then finding your grease pen later in a place where it shouldn't be. And then you end up carrying 6 grease pens because you keep finding the ones you lost.

Confidence and I have a rocky relationship. Every time I've been confident, I've gotten myself in trouble... So I don't allow myself to experience confidence anymore. On one hand, it's nice because I never disappoint myself anymore. On the other hand, I just wish I could feel good about something.

My godparents are so cute💚 they thought I was legally obligated to narc on them for partaking in jazz-cabbage activities so, while I was visiting, they would just say "I'm gonna go outside and listen to Phish" as if I don't know Phish's fanbase
