"I don't know what's going on, I'm having trouble hearing in my left ear.

I'm supprised that separating us took so long, but it worked. I haven't written anything like a fight, turf, or drama. I'm glad, it's making time fly by."

I started going deaf in my left ear, and couldn't hear anything from it.

"everyone seems to be having fun."

Yes, everyone was having fun.

"It seems the Admiral is coming over to inspect the compartments. I honestly don't care about the Admiral, but I do want to clean my rack, after all the coughing, sneezing, and puking I did."

The Admiral never came. Instead, a captain came to inspect the compartment. Because a higher-ranked official was coming in, the officers were having us do a deep clean on the compartment. It gave me a great time to just focus on cleaning up where I slept.

"2 master chief patty officers came in just now. They asked if we all have plans when we're out of here. After some conversations with them they left basically saying"good luck". I still think, they don't care.

I get to sign my ADSEPS tomorrow. I'm so excited to go home."

I did not get to sign ADSEPS any time soon.

"We're on bleach protocol, cause ther's a lot of people sick right now. What we do is just, get a rag with bleach on it, and wipe your rack down. I already finished."

I had a great time sitting around, watching everyone else clean and I just wrote stuff down.

"The Admiral still hasn't shown up. I don't want the Admiral to be here, I just want to leave."

"Well, enough of us messed up so much that, everything is secure, we clean ALL DAY LONG. With roughly 100 people and only one compartment, there's going to be people with nothing to do.

I need to go to PEP for a day, or do a trick someone tipped me off to. The trick is, you go to sick call and just sit there until they close and send you to the hospital. The problem is, that trick might make me miss signing ADSEP."

That trick hardly ever worked.

"The petty officer today is a dickhead."

I really hated it when he was in charge. It was so bad that I even broke my rule, not to include anybody's name, just to spite him. But, I changed it back and didn't include his name. He is now and will forever be named "officer dickhead".
