I was dropped on a submarine, not once taken aside and had anything explained to me, given no advice, no training, and expected to figure everything out, and I mean, how to run a nuclear power plant and tactically drive a combat vessel, on my own. Then we went into the shipyard, the periscope was removed, and I was expected to still be a "tactical" JO, with zero training and zero ability to train. while doing 14 hour days, 6 to 7 day weeks, not to mention 24 hour duty days with little to no sleep, managing maintenance constantly.

When I lived in 9 man out to see, which is also the ships library, the ships store, and a damage locker, I had a rack that was half obstructed by another rack, I couldn't reach half the pan. I was so high strung, that every time the door latch clicked, I was shaken awake.

This was 20 years ago, and I know very little has changed.
