INSURV is finally behind us. Though relieved, I can't help but feel like it was a massive waste of time and effort. (Oh, would you look at that... I've just described my naval career!) It was like one punchline after another while they were on board.
On the first day of the actual inspection, Wraydar and I took a field trip to the Stennis (that is after we dodged like a dozen MAA's MGS style) to borrow friggin' harnesses. Me, Belvin and Mo took 'em back later that evening and the Chief at their quarterdeck asked if we really were on lockdown, as in getting no liberty, to which we responded, "yeah". And he's like,"No, seriously"...
Then he laughed at us.
Even the INSURV inspectors themselves said they'd never seen anything like it.
One day we cleaned Radio from 1700 'til like 2030ish 'cause the "Admiral" was coming to inspect, just so he could come in and glare at a power panel for all of five seconds. It's all a joke. A sick joke, where we ended up being the punchline, which is par for the course for the Carl Prison when I really think about it.
Interestingly enough, I was googling last night and ran accross a livejournal of some guy who happens to be in the Navy and recently had an INSURV experience of his own... J comes up behind me and asks what I'm looking at. When I tell her it's just some guy's livejournal she says,"Why on earth would you put personal things on the internet for people to read?"....
