On Friday, one of my JOs came and asked to borrow my camera to use for the awards ceremony we were about to have for the outgoing Chief Engineer. He claimed that it was just because the quality of photo my camera produces is so much better than the wardroom camera, which actually means either the battery was dead or they can't find the camera. I got the camera back with 80+ pictures on it...so here is what happens behind the scenes when I'm not around...
Waiting for everyone to gather, which is kind of boring, so...
One of the few guys onboard older than me.
Two of the many who are much younger than me.
When saying goodbye and offloading a week's worth of trash collide, it can apparently turn into a game of London Bridge.
work is supposed to be fun, after all!

I wanted to take a moment to let you know I appreciate your blog. I served onboard the USS Conyngham DDG-17 and it was great to read so much about your DDG. It's nice to know much has changed for the better (incl. women being allowed to serve in combat) and some even remains the same. Brought back alot of positive memories. Thanks.
