Duties Onboard the Destroyer

We were a destroyer and every time, like we went along deployment with the NATO. NATO we were a force, with like five or six different countries working as a unit doing manoeuvre at sea, and that’s really like, for officers stuff, but for us, wherever the captain decided to take us, we went, I mean. My job on the, first time onboard the ship, I was what we called a coxswain writer, and the coxswain is mainly a chief warrant officer who’s looking after the discipline on board a ship and I was his administrative clerk. And my job was doing mainly, like routine orders, duty watch, and all that stuff so whatever job, and if the captain needed, like, disciplinary had to be done I was there with the files and make sure that everything was conducted properly and that was quite exciting. I mean we had a great time on board the ship. Loved it.
