Starting my last underway, it was downright 1940's on the boat; no tablets, no phones, no e-readers, no I-pods, no laptops, no gameboys, nothing. It's amazing how much those things made for quality of life, since most people don't have enough space for more than 1-3 books.

Holy loving poo poo are you serious?????????????????

whenever someones poo poo went missing I always just figured the cooks stole it because they are by far the worst and least trustworthy people in general on a sub imo

Just think about a multiple-month underway with only some crusty shared copies of Randy Grannies and memory jacks to keep you sane

Or even not having music for exercise / after watch cleanup

Very few people get to actually see out the scope. But I'm sure it has happened.

this might be new fangled technology but the ood guy or w/e would always take pics and upload them to the share drive so you could check stuff out from the scope

What kind of divisions/DIVO jobs are there on a sub? I'm familiar with an aviation squadron, but now I'm kind of curious how it's broken down on a sub. Do you have anything like a dedicated admin department?

Admin is run by an enlisted guy, ours was an e-6. They work in the yeoman shack and there were 3 on my boat(its a super tiny room, like 1/3 of the COs stateroom lol) the 2 junior guys also stood watch, usually stuff like helmsman or planesman....of if you're a nub/stupid as hell then you "stand" messenger

division officers are broke down like this: machinery, electrical, radiological controls, some reactor bullshit for ETs, auxiliaries officer(conventional MMs), and some coner stuff i don't remember but that is engineering divisions. i think i even got some of the nuke ones wrong haha

up forward I only remember like weapons officer(department head), navigator(don't think this is a department head??), and i think some sort of fire control officer who was in charge of torpedomen and FCs. there are probably more though I just never spent time up there

We spent weeks at UQ. Our coners actually complained because they were getting behind on their crews-mess movie watching.

UQ means no after watch cleanup. One COB pushed for a 'patrol quiet' which was just like UQ only you still had the hour of cleanup, because "ORSE is coming." Made taking the spec op seriously a little harder.

We still did after watch clean up, field days, drill walkthroughs and training no matter what :)

It is beneficial. As long as it's dripping, you know there's fluid pumping in there. You can keep track of how much you need to add, but you always know that there's something in there.


It's part of why you don't climb into a helicopter if it isn't leaking oil around somewhere.

This right here is the dumbest thing I think you've ever said tbh
