It's official...
I'm now a member of the crew of the USS Gary...
...and boy is she underwhelming.
Calling her "she" may just be a bit misleading 'cause there isn't a drop of estrogen whithin 50 nautical miles of the Mighty Gary. No women... whatsoever.
/think
Anyhow, I checked out of TPU and hitched a ride over to the thing passing the Kitty Hawk (who also pulled in this morning) en route... an' lemme tell you; the shitty Kitty looks alot more impressive now that I'm part of an entire crew that is like the size of their Combat Systems Department. Seriously... the Vinson would swallow the Gary like ten times... it's a big difference.
My surrogate "sponsor" (my actual assigned one wasn't there) showed me Radio today and it was pretty familiar territory, thankfully. They gave my basic DC PQSs and 3M which you can imagine garnered a smirk or two from me.
Requalls f*ckin' rule.
The consensus with pretty much the whole crew is that being on the Gary is some pretty demanding duty. Sometimes I wonder why I put myslef through these types of things when I have other options but 10'll get you 20 I'll end up liking the shit. Torture is my middle f*cking name.
