I haven't read any Stowaway Stories in this Reddit. One unlucky Shipmate snuck a female onboard during the ships port visit to Melbourne AUS. Damn near got away with it too.

So, I’m going to shore based sea duty in CONUS. Not remote or anything like that. I’m getting lots of back and forth saying that I need the 1300/16 but others saying that I don’t since I’m not going overseas. The clinic staff didn’t even have the doctor sign that form, but now leadership says I need it. I’ve been away from doing screenings for the longest time now so I’m now stuck unsure.

I’m sure this will be a mixed bag, but coming up on 10 years at my next EAOS. Has anyone that got out around 10 ever had regrets about not finishing through to draw a retirement?

Well I hear it's going to be the GREATEST ship. An absolute amazing ship. Tremendous power. People tell me it's fast very fast too. This navy ship, let me tell you, is absolutely fantastic, folks. It's huge, absolutely huge. We have the best ships, don't we, folks? No one builds ships like we do. It's got everything – the latest technology, the most powerful weapons. We're talking about missiles that can hit a target from miles away. Nobody thought it was possible. But we did it. submitted by /u/yell-and-hollar [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
