Building Character

Reporting from Off Scene

You know that you are a Probie when you plan a night out with your friends and you give them directions to meet you, and those directions include "meet me near the hydrant on the Northwest corner" and you conclude "it will be the 600 block on Saskatchewan Avenue,"

You can't help but answer "Yes Sir!" whenever someone speaks to you, even at home.

You've become very VERY good and efficient at washing and drying dishes and laundry detail as well.

When your cell phone goes off late at night to alert you that you have a text message and you instantly wake up, swing your feet over the side of your bed and you start to fumble around in the dark for your boots... only to realize that you are in your very own apartment. (Dammit all to hell!)

You've become very VERY good at making coffee for the crew - tea for Captain!

You can't help but when asked a question, you have to fight the urge to recite what particular article, section and subsection that the answer comes from in the Department Order Book.

You've become very VERY good at running to the rig, and being dressed before everyone else and your ass in the seat and buckled because when they say that they will leave without you, that's not just a threat.
