good news for those coming down

[CommodoreMid]

Unlike the recent bad news of no more redneck parasailing, it was just put out today in A-pool that it's going back to the way it used to be with a 0730 muster and then you get to leave providing no appointments, etc. So hopefully nobody shows up drunk or tells the LTs in flight management that they can't come in because they have scuba lessons again and ruin the good deal.

Good for you guys. Don't fuck it up.

 

[Brunes]

That didn't last very long...Congrats- Enjoy it and make sure you all keep each other in line.

That's great news. I'm finishing IFS soon and it's nice to know that I'll be getting a nice break before API.

you gotta be f'ing kidding me! Did he die a horrible death?

Hopefully not nearly as bad as the dude who showed up to muster still drunk or the people on watch with tongue piercings in or whatever the other shenanigans were that people were doing...

i think he got a pink sheet

Pink slips have been handed out like candy lately. Not going to go into details.

I got here a day after that a-pool madness started, and I classed up for IFS two days before it ended. I never got to experience the golden days of a-pool. Sad.

If someone messes it up for my second round of a-pool, we're fighting.

Ah yes, the days of muster at 730 and hit the golf course by 9. Almost had a scratch average that summer (+2 handicap). Those were the days....

I never mustered much with A pool, I was stashed at the survival pool. That was an awesome stash job. Swim every morning, screw with people in the SWET chair, fish cookouts every friday. Not bad at all.

Quarterdeck watch: Worst. Stash. Ever. I usually bitched about it since it didn't get me out of muster, was usually overnight, and couldn't understand why it wasn't just a duty passed around among the entire pool, as opposed to the 8 of us who stood it. It was, however, really good encouragement to get my flight physical knocked out and get into IFS asap, so maybe it served its purpose.

Way back when (1985) I was stashed at DWEST/water survival.

As stated, it was an awesome stash job. All I did was swim and get in great shape. When I went through with my API class I knew the staff but still took every swim test and passed with no problems at all.

It's a great gig if you can get it.

I had the PRT this morning so I didn't muster, but my roommate said apparently somebody is already up to jackassery and didn't report to his stash job or something and A-pool got yelled at for it. I don't know all the details, but seriously, we just got this good deal back so if you were the dude that did this, this is the kind of thing that messed it up before, so stop. Seriously.

I was on QD watch there for about 6 months. It sucked. I knew I had been there too long when I was telling the LTs what to do.

(N.B. don't get surgery and go med down when the QD is hurting for people, bad timing...)
