Officer of the Watch simulation

This week we were in the simulation room working on giving orders and following procedures. I learned many new things about leading the operation of a submarine's nuclear power plant, especially that it's hard! I've never had to put so much focus into anything in my life. So how's that for a statement.

The week that is starting the 29th is the "easy" week of our 5 week cycle. My four day weekend begins on Thursday evening. But before then, we are going to have an inspection, a phyiscal fitness test, an imporant test on Wednesday, all on top of the usual watches, training exercises, and of course the checkouts. Needless to say, I'm ready for Thursday evening.
