So, we were supposed to be pulling into Mayport today, for our last "port visit" before deployment.
That's what we've been calling the time we're in port, since for some reason, that's all we do.. Go out to sea for a month, back in for a week or so, back out.. You know the drill.

Well, anyway.. Good parts about this underway..
I got my ESWS pin, which I'm not sure how to put pictures up, even though it's only one.
Nevermind, I found a button that has "Add an image" labeled on it.

Umm.. I played video games for the first time in 15 days after getting my pin, which was awesome.
Now I can spend some offtime enjoying what I do best, aside from fixing my guns, which is playing video games.

Well, it's almost time for watch, but not quite, but I can't sleep.. So I'm sitting here, watching my friend play games.

Hope to see you all sometime soon!
Also, the ship's internet sucks, and doesn't like the file size of this picture.. So I'll send it to myself, and upload later.
Or you can ask my mom for the picture, because who knows when I'll actually be home?

Finally.

So, last night, I had my CPO board for my Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist(ESWS) qualification last night.

We went in at 6:30pm, and it ended around 10:20.. When we finished, they sent us outside the Mess, and called us in one by one, starting with me.

They told me that, if it weren't for me, the other guys would have had a much harder time on many of the topics. My weakest topic was Operations.. Since I don't really like it at all, but I had to learn it.

Well, I got my pin, as well as two of the other three.. The other guy just had no clue what was going on, and that's not trying to be mean. He really didn't have any idea.

I get my actual pin tomorrow, not sure what time.. But soon I can wear my Surface Warfare designator pin! I am really looking forward to it.

ESWS..

So, I just found out that I have my CPO board tomorrow, after one day of doing my Murder board last night.
And it was Sunday today, so NOONE wanted to do anything to help on the parts that I was weak on.

Which was only deck seamanship and I wanted to go through engineering just a little, but I did fine on the murder board with that.

Well, here's wishing me luck.. I hope I get it. I need this pin.
