“What the hell!?”

“Gross!”

“She has cooties!”

“Go stand over there and quarantine yourself, “Chief McCutcheon says pointing to a corner of the engine room in disgust, “And don’t touch nothing!”

“I can’t help it if it itches under the hood, “she says before walking towards the corner.

“Alright……alright look I am not Dr. Phil so enough with the relationship advice, look Spitznazel the chick digs you, you have tan skin and green eyes you look like an Xbox controller and chicks love Xbox.” Her response caused Spitznazel to smile giving her hope.

“Okay, look if there’s nothing else I have to go and prepare for the pre-deployment meeting in officers country, again be at your sea anchor stations when the word is passed.”

“Oh chief there is one thing?”

“What is it EN3 Parker?”

“LTJG Sowder holds a higher ranking than you why isn’t she the “Cheng”?”

“Why, because it’s like my main man Tyrion Lannister from the Game of Thrones says I know things, “she says smiling before walking out of the engine room.

The Bridge…..

“Good Morning everyone I am Lena Adams your department head and the Navigation Officer onboard here on the USS Cumulus. I am responsible for the safety and navigation of the ship and to be aware of its position at all times. Also, I will oversee the planning of our journey estimating the timing to determined destinations. Does everyone know where there sea and anchor detail stations are?”

“Yes ma’am, “they respond almost in unison.

“Sorry, I don’t.”

“Uh and what is your name?”

“QM3 Taylor?”

“Taylor…Taylor, “she says looking down at the piece of paper she held in her hand, “Oh, I see Taylor yes you will be here on the bridge with me observing weather conditions and updating the logs and data records.”

“She doesn’t need to be on the bridge she needs to be curb side with the rest of the trash.”

“I’m sorry who was that, “Officer Adams ask.

“Ma’am, it was SN1 Hodges, “Taylor says, “But please pay her no mind she’s just mad her girl was walking around my apartment last night with my t-shirt on and no panties like Winnie the Pooh!” Her response caused Hodges to lung at her but was quickly grabbed by three other sailors holding her back.
