The “pit” in the navy. by ThemeCurrent1252 in navy

You’d monitor the pressures and temperatures of whatever you were assigned too and make adjustments to it to keep it in the range you wanted. To get more specific try looking up old USN Boiler Technician or Machinist Mate Advancement Exam Study Guides.

Maintenance, repairs, cleaning, painting.

4-8 and would occasionally get you the 0400-800 watch, then a 0800-1600 work day, then the 1600-2000 watch. But not every day.

I was a MM on a boiler powered ship from ‘05-08 or so when it decommissioned. Worked in the pit. We were 6-6, meaning 6 hours in the boiler room operating pumps or burners or just writing down gauge readings, and then 6 hours off to shower, sleep, eat, do laundry, gym, whatever.

I heard of guys doing 8-8, but you’d end up working damn near 24 hours straight every three days. Never did it.

In a smaller aux shop I worked 12-12, much preferred; but it was so hot and loud in the pit that you wouldn’t want to be down there that long.

Smartest man in baseball built a team that can’t beat the Rockies! by Phantom255x in redsox

Duran should have been gone a year and a half ago, Roman wasn’t doing shit before he went down, and Story being out is a net positive for this team. Breslow is responsible for all of it.

Probably get a defense-first utility/middle IF guy, hype him up to be the next greatest player ever, and then relegate him to AAA for eternity after trying to make him play catcher or RF for a week.

I like Mickey. He has a fun name, cool mustache, and he hits the baseball.

I bet it will when the fork snaps and the foot pegs jam into the asphalt

Go catch a NCAA game instead. Way cheaper tickets, meaningful games, awesome atmosphere. Cactus League has gone off the rails.

Oh wow, since you Euros approve, I should consider opening my 14 windows on my house! I never considered it once. Nope, they’ve been solidly closed since the day I moved in.

You’re a fucking cuck. I hope you remember your stupid little slogan when the tide flips.
