It has been a good day so far. After wasting away the last few days I finally went out to take a shower, walk the two kilometres into town for groceries, took a swim and did some cleaning.
Today’s interesting event: watching the supply ship being towed out of the harbour, with a delivery van and a small car sitting on top of the containers.
And at least in most of the nations’ navies, your life as a grunt was pretty much like that. Dragged into service by press gangs and treated like shit.
