8/5:> One of the harder decisions is seriously should I drink another bottle of> water so I won't get dehydrated or not so I don't have to use the restroom> on watch! Thanks for the email! Things are so busy here you can't even> imagine. I stand watch 5 hours a day on the bridge driving the ship. We> have been boarding a lot of fishing vessels and searching them here in the> Persian Gulf area. I also have things I have to qualify in as well. I have> random tasks I'm in charge of like creating a spreadsheet of everything> for the entire deployment (#of apples eaten, # of ships boarded). I don't> have a division yet because the guy i'm relieving is still here until Oct.> that is good so I can learn about how things work and all. Pretty much the> highlight of the day is eating, taking a shower, and using the restroom.> Sounds kind of funny- but your always hungry, hot, and want personal time.
