Eh, like I told
@O.T.I.S. , I wish I had chose the Air Force. I'm an LS that's 4 years deep so far, and while the work is easy, being attached to a ship is fresh out of work asscheeks.
Not only do you have to do your actual job, but you have to keep up-to-date on qualifications like damage control, worry about ship politics, silently lament the fact that Chiefs are...some-fukking-how a totally different thing from the rest of the enlisted and will fukk you up accordingly (them nikkas are usually on some other shyt in DRBs. It usually devolves into a roast session where the Chiefs try to one-up each other in regards to making you feel like an absolute clown while providing zero constructive criticism,) and just the fact that the ship is a big ass death trap.
Steep ass ladder wells, perpetual forklift ops with dumbass safeties that have constant attention lapses, fires, general crew fukkery, having to carry heavy ass $50,000+ parts down four decks into hot ass spaces, etc.

@Doctor Doom said, the Commanding Officer can make or break a ship because he/she has complete control over the happenings aboard. The CO of the BHR had them nikkas paint the ship so that it would look good while being towed to be scrapped...after the fire had burnt that shyt to a crisp. That's a military issue, but it's arguably at it's worse on ships that are underway.
