That an interesting watch rotation to stand. At first I dreaded that one because you get less sleep. But the upside is that 0400-0800 is a quiet time aboard a ship, and 1600-2000 things are usually winding down as well.
And if you're standing that watch that means you're not standing port and starboard (i.e. 4 hours on 4 hours off) so, could be worse!

- giarc 9y agoWhat are your main tasks during these watch shifts?
- tcopeland 9y agoIn the morning, usually setting things up for whatever operations are scheduled for the 0800-1200. In the evening, squaring things away from whatever we did that day and maybe prepping for night helo ops.
