Today was my first official day of work of the USS Comstock! I must say it wasn't so bad. We swept for the first hour from 645-745am. After I chipped and sanded the side of the boat and then the painting began. Haze grey over and over. Lunch in between to break up the day. A few chatter breaks here and there and back to painting. Who knew it took 12 hours to paint a space so small. I assume it's that attention to detail we were taught in boot camp. You really need a positive mindset to do something so tedious all day. I have pretty good shipmates that keep me sane. Tomorrow we go underway for the first time and I will find out if I get sea sick or not. Hopefully it feels like a wonderful cruise that I just happen to be painting on!
