[jedi]

If jedi like him jedi will be sure to use some pink ugly while jedi hugs him.
LOL

As for thos little boats. Meh they are not pink.

Now imagine spending weeks/months on something that sized.

With 25 (26, including yourself) other dudes. Sleeping & working on deck, below deck was used for storage.

 

[bradmedic04]

Well, my EDC knife is sharp enough. Cut my thumb to the bone today.

 

[jedi]

You making some type of blood patch with racoons?

 

[bradmedic04]

Yes, my minions will soon be arriving, and in greater numbers.

One of the main reason they were above decks a lot..... did you see any ventilation or a.c.?

Also noticed the complete lack of bathrooms.

The sea is a giant toilet, not unlike Jedi's house.

They call it the "head".
Hang your junk over the head of the ship.

Do bubbleheads suffer from sea sickness, or just the general insanity that comes with being locked in a steaming nuclear tube for months at a time?

I just know that friends who I've gone deep sea fishing trips with were fine below deck, but the second they could see horizon, they started puking and spent the rest of the day alternating between hiding below deck and in "the head." I was nice enough to catch their fish for them though.

Down below PD (periscope depth) you don't really get a lot of motion.
The deck may do "angles and dangles" but it's like being in a building that has a floor that pivots.
Only motion I noticed was during an emergency ascent, or above PD.
The sub is not really designed for the surface, that's not its element. So it bobs like a cork. Lotta guys may get sick.
I was only seasick twice, and both times were on the surface in a storm so bad we were rolling 50 degrees side to side. Men were thrown outta their bunks. No lookouts. As we heeled over, waves would wash over the periscope, which was fully extended up.

I don't know how to explain an emergency ascent. Imagine riding a bubble up, real fast.

 

[actaeon277]

One guy would get seasick right next to the pier, as soon as lines were cast off.
If we were going to do a surface-op, we'd see this guy with a (slang for woman's part) - patch.
The p-patch would be put on the neck below the ears, congest the tubes in the ear used for balance, stop the seasickness.

 

[bradmedic04]

If you're prone to seasickness, the Navy could be a mistake.

Scotch and cigar at 0645. Breakfast of champions.

Just got home from work, went in @ 1400 Sunday. Thankfully someone came in early to relieve me, or I'd still be there.

Hey jedi I have a message for you.

Work sucks.
But at least it cooled off. So it sucks a little less.

Scotch and cigar at 0645....

There is a group for people like you. But they have no name. And they usually don't start until the cigar lounge opens at 9am.

Just sayin....

 

[jedi]

Hey jedi I have a message for you.

So NOT cool!!!

 

[CTC B4Z]
