has started again and what a surprise it was. I was on duty on Monday the 3rd when we got the word that we were leaving the following day. It really sucks to find shit out that way. I never thought we would be pulling some fast boat shit on a trident submarine.

We are now 2 days into part II of our underway and already new shit has started breaking. We got the towed array fixed and the engine room shit fixed but broke sonar in the process. We have it fixed for now but only GOD knows how long that is going to last. I sense another in-port period on the horizon but then again, I could be wrong. The good news is, the watch rotation didn’t mess up my calender so I do not have to make a new one. I also got all the rest of my stuff that I forgot when we first pulled out. I am starting my workout regime after I get off watch tomorrow. It should be a good time and I’ll be in better shape as long as I stick to the regime and continue to work out in-port. I also started another attempt to quit smoking. I know, I am horrible for starting up again and I regretted it when I lit that first one after my last return to port. I always said that I am not a quitter but this is something I can say “I’m a quitter” to. Plus, it will help me stay focused on working out.

Chief has also started pissing me off again but that is nothing new. I’m not going to go into the details, but just know that I think he is still retarded. I have a better chance to make 2nd this cycle though. I got an EP (early promote) on my last eval so it will boost my score considerably. Oh, I almost forgot, my buddy Rolf did get his fish before we pulled in. Now we just need to have the other two NUBs get their fish so that we can have a fully qualified division.

I still haven’t been able to sleep but at least it got better while I was home. Now we are gone again and the problems are starting up again. I’ll sleep for like 2 hours and then I’ll be awake for 2 hours and then I’ll fall asleep again. It sucks but I guess it is better than not being able to sleep at all. At least I figured out how to make it dark in my rack now. That shit is annoying when you are trying to sleep but the light keeps getting in your eye.

I have also received a fair amount of emails already so that makes me really happy. It is a half hour before first wake ups for the next sections so I am going to cut this off here and try to sleep.

Later Daze
