Repel Boarders

We did something cool today. We got to do Defensive Live Fire drills. Essentially we got to simulate the QRF for our training FOB and repel and attack. I was so looking forward to it cuz I find I kinda like shooting and breaking things. My bubble done got burst though. As a OIC I didn't even get to shoot nuthin'. I even passed out all my ammo to my fighting positions that were in need. All I got to do was run up and down the line checking my Sailors status and reporting to higher. Army training got a kick out of my commands, i.e. "Repel Boarders Starboard! etc. It was still fun but I would really have gotten off on shootin' things. Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice

Still Breathing

Ain't dead, just busy and have llimited access. Army found out our cyberpunk ITs created a wireless network tap into their net. Army bubba's got all riled up and fussy about data icursion and hacking their firewall and all. Those boys sure are uptight. Bottom line is instead of being able to touch the world hive brain sphere from our barracks I now hafta compete with some couple hundred other bubbas for use of the 3 internet access ports the Army has provided us. Have a couple of posts I've been workin' on and will see if I can get them out their. Also, OPSEC has become more of a concern for me as well.
