today i actually did some hands-on, physical Navy work.
we had an UNREP (Underway Replenishment) and i was one of the line handlers.
thats where i heave (pull-in) and slack (let loose) the lines (rope) for the fuel hose.
it was prety cool, seeing a supply ship so close to our ship. while both of use are moving across the ocean. the waters between the ships gets VERY rough.
its an assome thing to witness.
the fuel hose swingging back and forth between the ships, the waves, the water spalshing across the deck. my freezing hands and wet coveralls...
yes; it was rainy and cold and windy as hell.
kickin' fun time.

so that was my first hardcore operation ive seen while aboard this ship.
and i enjoyed it.
