Well the week is over and the Princeton has survived another inspection. Just like 3-M inspection we did a lot of preperation covering every detail just to have the inspectors come through and browse our equipment. Of course this is expected, trouble is when the inspector asks to see weight test data, tech drawings, or whatever and the ship can't provide them. That's when the inspector starts looking closer and finding more things wrong that we didn't see coming. The cracks beneath the surface. Of course we did not emerge unscathed. We were missing equipment just like other ships, but most of it we borrowed from other ships on the waterfront. Some thing we were gigged on that were on board just no one knew it. We went out to borrow a dip rope from another ship only to find that the line we wanted was in the Lashing Gear locker. I'm feeling a little giddy like I do after a successful inspection. It's a good feeling when the navy comes to look at my gear and go way knowing what I already knew. Though my equipment is fraught with problems it's still under control. Today I'm enjoying a day off. I was suppose to go to a paintball tournament today but thay left without me because I was a little late, I thought I had to be there at 1030 and the van left at 0830. That's alright though since I have laundry to do and have duty saturday, church Sunday, and we'll be underway Monday. Doesn't leave alot of time to get things done. Times are getting short till deployment, Holiday stand down is coming up week after next. Four weeks and then we'll be underway till deployment. That's a lot of stuff that need doing till then. I have to close out my apartment. I still plan on paying rent, but I don't want to have to worry about my stuff and whether or not anyone has broken into my apartment while I'm gone. I also have think about what do I plan to do with my car while I'm gone. It still runs well, at least most of the time but it is old. It's a '91 corsica, not a very clean running car. I want to buy a hybrid someday as soon as they start selling them at a price that I like.
