Sit rep from Norway

Post by Swoff »

I shipped out July 28th 2008 and in that time I have graduated from Naval Dive School. I am currently serving my time on board a Norwegian Naval Vessel as an underwater demolition expert. So far I have enjoyed the ride and gotten rid of bad thoughts when things are tough.

What is your actual title now, Swoff? Sounds like you're doing well. Keep it up, and thanks for the report.

I was once a commercial 'hard-hat' diver in the US northeast - I can appreciate those nice water temps you get to work in. :P
