Worst part of the other subreddit is boot posts. You won’t allow that I hope? If so, I’m a perpetual convert.

The subreddit militarystories has great stories that we can mostly relate to if you've been around long enough.. but...

I wanna know your worst fuck up since you've been in. To kick it off, here's my best effort -

210. D5 patrol. Lowering the OTH for AMIO and I'm on aux watch as a young 3rd. EOW says to put sewage in restricted - poop goes to and stays in the tank - I say, sure!

Guy before me on watch apparently said he put it in unrestricted - ie, all poop goes over the side - but the unrelenting 4 to 8s got me all sorts of tired. So I flip the switches, turn the valve, say "all's good!"

What is it like? I heard that you have to take a plan
