all right.
im back. for now. got back this morning. and im here for today and until tomarrow afternoon when we head beck out again. for more operation stuff.
but my first week out at sea was pretty damn wicked. i got sick the first day, only because we hit a strom, and the waters were rough as hell. and being the smaller ship she is; well, damn that thing rocks! it really stirs your stomach. but yeah after some sleep i was fine from then on out.
so engineering did their testing and stuff, and we (the operations department) practiced our radar and plotting stuff, and all was good. i had fun. the hours of work though kind of sucked; 1200 - 1700, then 0000 - 0700 (or 12pm-5pm, and 12am-7am). but just like the rocking i got used to it. the crew i work with is pretty cool. they bullshit most of the time, so work flys by.
so we go out again tomarrow and are back again Friday. then sometime next week we go down to Florida. good times there are awaiting my arrival.
all in all my first of many deployments was a success.
