Another night of being the midwatch cowboys, hooyah! I actually really do like the midwatch, so I'm not at all bothered by my duty section getting more than our fair share of mids.

Anyway, I wasn't posting to tell you about how sweet mids are. What I want to tell you all about is that I'm going to be going underway next month! AAAAAHHHHH! <-- ( Read more... )
