NWI INGO General Post - Part 21 - We can offically drink da moonshine!

What's the on duty/off duty schedule for the crew when a sub is at sea?

Depends on the department/division, and depends on the manning level.
Reactor Controls Division was always undermanned on my sub.
We had two watch stations, Reactor Operator and Machinery 2. So, with 7 in the division, we had the chief who stood a supervisory watch, and then we had 3 section duty for both RO and AMR2.

3 section duty means, 6 hours on watch, 6 hours of (maintenance/recreation/casualty assistance team), and then 6 hours of sleep.

But, we often didn't have 3 qualified ROs. So, that means 2 section duty. 6 hours on, 6 hours off.
Except, when you're off, you're not "off".
Most of the RC div maintenance can only be done by a qualified RO. So, if you only have two RO qualified... one is on watch, one is doing maintenance. And you sleep when you can.

Then, when you throw in drills and emergencies...

Me neither, but when the office is nearly empty, I get stuff done.

 

[jedi]

Staying in tonight (as opposed to every other night, LMAO). Got ham and bean soup in the crock pot and corn muffins in the oven.

Nah.
Bad day at work on a sub, you are still on a sub. You are never "home".
Bad day at work in a mill, eventually you go home. They can try to call you, but you are still not at work.

Hey @actaeon277 i saw someone say you were recovering from chyna-virus, Last I saw you had a sore throat, was it the wu-flu or no idea? Either way, glad you’re recovered!!!

As far as I know, it was just a sore throat.
But, some people said, that's all many are getting from the omicron variant.
So, who knows?
I didn't get a test.
I was home a couple weeks with no contact anyway.
I had a sore throat at work my last day. So, maybe I got everyone sick?
Then again, I don't really deal with people at work.
I did say goodbye. Don't know if saying goodbye to someone then walking away would get them sick.
I actually wore a mask my last day, just cause I didn't want to give anyone a sore throat.

 

[Doug28450]

I'm getting over a cold. My wife thought it was the china virus. I got tested and it was negative.

How is everyone else tonight

Ate dinner and living the dream. Kid is playing with Legos and watching Star Wars. No pink or raccoons, so I'm safe. Contemplating working on hanging up all my memorabilia in the basement. Got everything back from getting framed that are beyond my pay grade.

Frames really are wildly expensive and I have no idea why

How is everyone else tonight

Finished up another week and now home for a three day weekend. My boss came up from Memphis this week to talk to a couple of guys who have ambitions to replace me when I retire on 4/15. It's for real now and I'm kinda past the point of no return. Looking forward to it more and more each day now. I said goodbye to a guy in Production I have known for 30+ years who retired as of 0700 this morning.

Saying goodbye was the hardest part of my last day
