Welcome aboard @sark We don't worry about bed and / or kit inspections because most of us probably couldn't find either now. The galley and the heads are a different story. So your old man was at Chosin eh? Semper Fi.

We do have a set of rules that we require everyone to read, so please acquaint yourself with them. You will note that they are in pictures yet. We haven't figured out a way to draw them so that officers can understand them. This is an international forum with American participants being a minority, so it isn't US centric. We look forward to your contributions to the ongoing discussions. Watch the Aussies and Kiwis on here; they're both dodgy as hell.
