But who really is your friend? Trust no one.

Plus I won't spend my non-deployment months standing watch on the pier. 

I'm a doc, I don't stand watch on the pier...

[NAKID]

What is your watch?

While on the carrier, I stood MDDO (Medical Department Duty Officer).

On the Sub, I won't have a watch per se, I'm "on duty" 24/7. But, eventually I will qualify COW (Chief of the Watch).

I'm not a doc, and I don't stand watch, umm, at all.

Our baby Doc stands watch on the pier or the QD. Our Doc is a Section Leader.

I have no problem being on a ship. I did join the Navy.

Hey Chris, you take the Chief's exam? It was an interesting day.

this may be one of the most confusing threads i have ever tried to read.
sad thing is that i understand more of it than i think i should...

sorry, please carry on

When I used to stand watch, we were supposed to go out on the flight line and make sure nobody was messing with the planes. They equiped us with a Flashlight, a nitestick, and a whistle. After a while I decided that if I saw anything happening out there, I would just call Base security, if I wasn't already dead.

But, eventually I will qualify COW (Chief of the Watch).

When I left the boat they were making COW a requirement for E-6 and above and DOOW for E-7 and above.  I won't be back on a boat until Feb '10

I'll be back up at Sub School in Sep.  I should know where I am headed at that point, though it will probably change 5 times before I leave.  I'll have to catch up with you for a ride in the fall.

[NAKID]

They should have the Escape trainer up by then. It's been down for about a year and a half because the dumbasses demo'd the old one before they built the new one. Even though it was at a different location....

Go poke Mother with a stick.

I heard it was the other way around, but with Gyrenes, you never know.

I dont mean to thread jack but this does have somethig to do with the Naval maybe someone can help me out. I will try to keep the story short. A friend of a friends father passed away years ago he was in the Navy. I use to do repairs and other handyman type things for the widow and she would pay me by giving me some of his old tools for each project, a simple trade to save her money. Anyway I got a cabinet with drill bits and what not in it but under one  of the drawers when I removed it there was a USNR dog tag. The widow has since moved so I cannot ask her any questions to se if she knew him.
What I would like to do is try to find this guy to see if hes still alive or at least give it to one of his family members. Ive tried internet searches and even went into a recruiting station but they were young and had no idea what to do, any suggestions? I dont know if the numbers on the tag could help in an online search or not, I have no idea what they stand for. I understand the personal info probably cant be given out so if there was somewhere I could send it and they could take it from there that would work also.
Thanks

Call the recruiting station back and ask if any of them are members of a website called Together We Served. If none of them are, shoot me a PM and I'll see what I can do.
