I bet he didn't beat Dance Dance Revolution.;)

I know I sure as hell won't.
It's pretty straightforward BrianR. I was acting the goat with some mates in my own backyard (drinking) and tried to sidestep a tackle. Nah.
Because it happenned at home the Navy is no longer obliged to keep me on the ship as an active crew member. There's a considerable decrease in salary for a shore position, hence my grief causing through gritted teeth staccatto typing. Oh, and the pain.
I can't drive ( right ankle ) so no video shop access leaves me enduring a myriad of talk/freak shows and general blather.
I'm bored, sore and miserable so anything to relieve the monogamy will be truly welcome, with LJ's efforts as a case in point. Cheers for all the hard work.

my pleasure. I'll be sending the international ones tomorrow or thursday, i hope. and i think the word you want is monotony......unless, you are pining for two or three sheilas to help you pass the time.......

you are welcome

They didn't take you to Captain's Mast?

Edit: Oops, wrong navy, but do you guys have something similiar?

Sorry to hear that Novice.

But this is only temporary, right? Your ankle will heal in a few weks and as soon as the docs clear you for sea duty, you're back on a ship again. Perhaps not the same one, but sea duty is sea duty, right? Hang in there!

Troubleshooter: The US Navy won't send you to Captains Mast for an accident as long as you were not violating regulations at the time (ie DUI). Accidents happen. I know of a man who broke his leg (coincidentally) the day before a deployment. He was sent to shore duty with no punishment, although it was (common) knowledge that he did it on purpose to get out of going.

Tell that to the guys I watched get masted for sunburns that wouldn't let them stand watch.

That was back in '89, '90 though.

Thanks UT but I can't find a similar critter here in Oz. As for a Captains Mast, we are sent to the Captains Table for re-indoctrination. Yours sounds like some kind of ordeal. " Climb up here boy and meet your fate"
We too would be punished for sunburn. We're provided with hats ans 30+ gratis so there is no excuse. They are not so Draconian as to refuse belief in accidents. Generally it comes down to the past record and temperament of the victim.
Being older and having never been caught at nefarious practises I am accorded a measure of respect from the heirachy.

So when are we supposed to get our t-shirts?

shipping friday priority mail ;)

i'm hoping that the make up shirts are done by tomorrow so we can get them all out. i was hoping to send the intl's tomorrow ( today) but here it is 3 am, and i just spent 3 1/2 hours assembling my daughters birthday present. goddamn springy horse is a mutherfucker. i used to love mine. i had no idea they were this evil. gotta be awake in 4 hours. guh. only a 12 hour shift tomorrow. just half a day, right?
bleh.

It's called Captain's Mast because the court was held at the main mast of the sailing vessels. :)

It was only really a problem where I was stationed in California, guys would get so sunburned that they had to be put on bed rest. The CO didn't like that at all. He said they should have known better since they had seen it happen to other guys, so he dropped the hammer on them.

From up the mast? Bastard.;)

SURLY?? Cute.

Well, I guess putting together an evil goddam springy horse will do that to you.

Thanks for the info on the shirts, btw.

Dance Dance is a BLAST! A friend of mine brought hers over a week or so ago. I want one now. The only problem is, I'm so damn light I have to stomp on the arrows to make them work....
