Bahrain is this little island in the middle east and everything here is brand new and super-ritzy except when it's outside and covered in sand and or riots except it's all fucking closed because the sub decided to stop here in the middle of fucking ramadan. Which blows, since we have cinderella liberty so we've got maybe 4 hours to actually do stuff before we have to find a ride to the goddamn boat (or the hotel, if you're super lucky/rich).

submarines suck, this job fucking blows. I'm underwater all the time and stuff breaks literally all the goddamn time because the stupid boat is ancient. it's too small to get any privacy and the whole berthing area stinks and I share my rack with two other dudes which is the worst. my stuff keeps getting stolen- sorry, "borrowed"- and then it winds up broken. I've gone through 5 chargers this deployment alone. I literally carved my name into the things with a knife and they still grew legs. Don't do submarines, and heavily discourage your friends and family as well.

Also hey, what's up with you guys?

It sounds like serving on a military sub is exactly what I thought it might be. Sorry for your sake I wasn't wrong. :/ Any chance of transferring to something that stays on the surface?

(I'm fine, thanks for asking.)

'Sup Sage. Are you the arm wrestling champion of the Navy yet?

@sam Actually I'm pretty sure I get seasick pretty bad, but with how much a dick shaped tube rolls on the surface it might just be submarines again.
But no. It's land or subs for like the next 15 years of navy minimum. Ironclad career paths.
Glad to hear you're doing good though.

@zengus USS Providence Parkour champ. I practice underway, obvs.

Anyways we're leaving again soon so I'll pick this up again in a month or two.

Parkour on a submarine... that must be interesting.

Have a good trip, be safe

Do you mean round the circumference of the hull, Big Trouble in Little China style? I hope that's what you mean.

And yes, safe voyage, Sage. See you when you resurface.

Fuckin bubbleheads....
