Hotbunking, been there/done that, didn’t like the t-shirt.
The younger generation expects conditions onboard to be better than what we old farts had (which was better than what our forefathers had - hammocks are for tropical islands to drink beer in).
As an officer, if I wasn’t on watch, I was up to my eyeballs in administration, crappy little jobs, studying, or - very occasionally - sleeping (not during the day though, sir is not allowed to sleep when the sun is up).
I’m all for improving conditions onboard warships. Life at sea in the service of your country is hard enough as it is.
You officers are out numbered and that makes life a misery for you, Thank God we have an understanding :) Salute
I accept orders From the CO and XO all others may discuss matters with the COB.
Sometimes You got to tell the CO the situation, and he is like OK Mister, you have 1 hour.. And you say Yes Sir!
No disrespect, submarines are “unique”
