I always slept in forward crews berthing, on both my boats. In LL berthing you always had to put up with the cooks getting into dry stores and the laundry going next door. I chose ten women for my scenerio specifically to take 9 man out of the running.
Oh yeah, I know of which you speak. I musta pissed the COB off something fierce one ‘Pac, cause he put me in Rack 21, 21-man, which is right next to the hatch for Dry Stores and my head was up against the bulkhead for the Laundry Space. Fortunately, the guy across the aisle from me was a very large M-Div’er who had no problems punching dumbass cooks in the head who couldn’t keep the noise down when retreiving a can of flour.
