[quote=HopelessIncubus] wasn't going for a dress uniform in the form of dress blues, I was going for more Class A uniform, essentially ironed fatigues with ribbon bar, rank, and polished boots. the sleeves rolled over the elbows and starched fatigue cap. allwell, Ill role with it. [/quote] Ah, sorry - I got confused. I'll edit my post to say that he just looks smart instead. [quote=The15thSpycrab] Silver.When you're talking about the living quarters, are we sharing rooms? From what you said, it looked like we had individual rooms, but then you said that the commander had a room to himself. [/quote] Everyone has an individual room (to avoid the dithering that would come with having to choose who to bunk with), but Blade has a bigger room - privileges of Rank and all that. Being the commander of the GEAR detachment aboard a Landcruiser is a bit like being the Air Boss on a modern day Aircraft carrier. There's a fair bit of seniority attached, with a good amount of privilege. [quote=Kyelin] I thought I read somewhere about bunks, so I assumed bunk beds. Could be wrong though :L [/quote] As far as I know, in most naval terms a bed is always referred to as a 'bunk', though it's not necessarily a bunk bed. Just to be suitably confusing. They're generally single-occupancy beds that are raised off the floor, and have various storage nooks and stuff built into the frame, and under the mattress as well. Landcruisers are a bit like Submarines or Aircraft Carriers - every possible inch that can be used to store something, probably has. Space is at a premium, so it's cramped, but the space is used well. Also, imagine exposed pipes and such on every ceiling, and some walls, and a lot of stencils for maintenance and warnings everywhere. [quote=HopelessIncubus] sounds like we hall have cubical style rooms, sharing 2-3 walls and having a draw-screen divideing us on the non walled sides.....im sure someone can explain that better then I can. [/quote] More or less - the 'rear' wall of each of your rooms is the outer wall of the ship. The left and right walls are thin interior walls, shared with a neighbour. One of them will have your bunk up against it, the other will have your personal wash/toilet area. Storage would be under the bed and in multi-purpose storage units. A small desk/dresser is against the rear-most wall, along with a personal chair (like an office-type chair). The 'front' wall is a partial thin wall again, with a sliding screen/curtain to divide you from the main common area, where there's easy chairs etc. to lounge around on, entertainment screens, some books, and a kitchenette for preparing snacks etc. It's comfy, but not luxurious. [quote=Cartwright] Crap. The RP went on. WELL I WILL SEE WHAT I CAN DO! I hate joining in when the RP gets past the first stage >.< I am not sure what to post at this very minute but I'll come up with something whenever I can... I REALLY am hoping to find an alternative to the 'late arrival' approach since I did it last time. [/quote] Your post was fine, and I left adequate mention in the IC for those people who didn't arrive right away. Also, as a helicopter pilot, it'd be fine for Ken to arrive after the Ship has left port - aircraft-carrying ships don't generally have their aircraft aboard when in harbour - I live in Portsmouth, the Royal Navy has one of it's major ports here, and some of the Destroyers and Helicopter Carriers (because we don't have any aircraft carriers at the moment) are based here, and they almost never come into port with their aircraft aboard. Instead, the aircraft rendezvous with the ship when it's underway, as do the air crew. The aircraft are only ever aboard if the Navy are holding an open day for the public. Landcruisers would likely be the same, so you could've had Ken turn up once we're underway, and that would've been no problem at all.
