My experiences from sailing is limited to being drunk in various places of the boat. There was also one instance where I had to walk drunk through 150meters of woods in pitch black darkness because the girls had taken the flashlight. I hit a lot of trees.

The messing up of my back started with boating as well, except it involved switching between pulling on the jib sheet and pumping water out of the boat for about 26 hours straight on this boat: 26 man crew, and we were in a race from denmark to norway that lasted for about one and a half days...I was supposed to get some rest, but the guy in the other shift who had the same position as I managed to get himself seasick and smacking his head a bit while taking down the top sail , so I had to fill in.

mkreku Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 When the officers are inspecting them, what exactly are they inspecting them for? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There are two parts of the male anatomy that must be kept clean at all times: privates and feet. Why? Because those are the two parts of the male body that bad hygiene can really mess with. An officer's job is practically to make sure all of his soldiers are in combat ready condition. By inspecting his men, he is making sure they've all followed the hygienic standards and that they're not risking their health by not cleaning themselves properly. Also, the 'ritual' has some other, deeper psychological meaning which I'm not familiar with (or at least forgot about) but it's damn effective. This ritual is only practiced while the soldiers are out in the field for long periods of time, and not when they're back at the training grounds.

Then you shouldn't have been even attempting to revise this morning! Going for a walk or doing a hobby is much better preparation so close to the exam itself. Sorry, that's useful information, and therefore off-topic. Plus, most people are very poor judges of their own exam performance: if you think you did badly, most likely you did pretty well.

Darth Flatus Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 ... yes that is true especially with written qualitative exams.
213374U Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 Plus, most people are very poor judges of their own exam performance: if you think you did badly, most likely you did pretty well. Speak for yourself. If I come out of an exam tearing my shirt and pulling my hair it's unlikely I have passed the exam. The opposite isn't necessarily true, but usually if I have studied, exams are a breeze.
