Cliff,
Welcome aboard…when you can, make sure and stop by the Navy service thread…
For your reading enjoyment,… I’ve included the following links…The CFR’s are as much fun as reading Capt’s night orders on a mid watch in the I.O…And the Marine Safety Manual…well…I actually find them interesting but don’t tell anybody…Save them both as they will help show you the way…
Part 10 of the CFR’s and in the MSM, chapter 2 will help…
