Anyone get dysentery?

I don't think anybody actually got sick, but I do know that the doc was ready to medicate people up.

The boat I was on was males only, but there are definitely integrated crews now, which is amazing.

We absolutely need females in the submarine force.

Some of the most badass submariners I know are females, but the boat I was on was all males.

Right.

It was honestly like a huge shot to the captain's ego.

He said something like, I've heard of other boats that this happens to and you hear about this in stories, but man, I didn't think it would happen to my boat.

What did that dude feel like?

That dude felt pretty bad.

And unfortunately, because it was a procedural violation, he does need to get into some trouble.

They go to something called Captain's Mast, which is...

Kind of our version of the UCMJ where, you know, if you're out at sea, the captain is judge, jury, and executioner.

So they did lay down some punishment, but the guy was honestly a really hard worker and nobody thought too poorly of him.

You know, he survived.

No one code redded him in his bed that night.

He was not ostracized or anything like that.

Yeah, you did it and you fix it.

There were some sorry folks and waiters for a couple days.

Those almost certainly went in the trash compactor.
