As of right now we are in 4 section duty. For those unfamiliar with the military, that means that right now every 4 days I have to stay on the ship for the night. Its not usually that bad and today is no different. I stand watch tonight on the quarterdeck from 2200-0300. That's my favorite watch so I am not upset about the lack of sleep.
What makes today a bluesy day is that for some reason, we can put out one of the best meals all week at lunch and then put out one of the worst meals all month for dinner. I didn't recieve one positive meal evaluation. What makes me even a little more miffed is that my watch captain signed all the meal evals without a single explanation as to why it was so bad and left before I had a chance to question him about it. I'll take care of that in the morning. I don't have to turn in those meal evals until then and he will give me a quality explanation on paper as to why it was horrible.
Life is not very exciting on a duty day, especially when we are not getting ready to go anywhere. We don't leave for a little while so things are pretty routine. I do get to take some very anticipated leave in about 8 days. Hoping to climb Mt. Fuji and spend some quality time with a friend that is coming to visit. I can't wait. Just long enough to recharge my batteries for our very long underway coming up next month.
