Well, just to start off my exciting day off. We had a really "FUN" morning by moving 2 M60s, and 8 boxes of ammo. That paid off by teaching people to shoot the machine guns, and i also had enough ammo around my body to impersonate Rambo. That was all in fun, cause our ship today was going to have a swim call soon. For non-Navy peeps out there, thats lingo for swimming by the ship in the middle of the ocean. I know what you are thinking, "well what about sharks and shit?" well... someone in my job is in a boat with a gun looking for sharks. Also in this boat there is a rescue swimmer for people that think swimming is fun, but just forgot they cant swim after they jump in the water.
Well i was on my way to get changed into my trunks and i get told i get the be the shark watch for one of the boats. I immediataly think to myself." well as long as i get to smoke and go swimming afterward". NOPE! i went out there in uniform, and floated while i got to watch my buddys and "shipmates" swim around and act like idiots. Mind you, that there are acting like idiots cause i dont get to be there with them, so in my envy filled eyes, they are all idiots. So after floating in the middle of no where for 2 1/2 hours, we did some circles in the water with the boat and headed back to the ship. I love swim calls. I cant wait to look foward to the next one.
