[Long Cut]

I'm not a Sentry, Shipmate. I'm on a phone watch.

For a while, we were prohibited from doing anything other than military manuals while on phone watch. It was extremely silly.

After we got a new skipper we got a TV and VCR and could bring anything we wanted to watch or read.

Hmmm. Well, not anything, but unless it was porn, no one cared.

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that there's Internet access with the duty phone next to it, but then, when I stood a phone watch, it still had a rotary dial.
