A lot of guys had the same problem with being bored. I was never really board on a Destroyer. I was in sonar but if I wanted to do something else, as in a tornado, I relieved the helmsman. It was fun trying to keep the ship on course during a tornado. They gave you 10 degrees, either side of the course during a storm. I could keep her within 5 degrees. Worked my butt off but it was fun. Some times the OD would just stand there and watch me. I was also a staff driver for the Captain. Good duty. I always had a vehicle in port when the Captain didn’t need me.
