You manage to escape the officer's mess without anybody else trying to interrupt the Most Important Meal of the Day. There is only so much shit a man can take before his morning coffee, and when pressed to the wall, your retaliatory measures become lean, efficient, and downright cruel. God has smiled upon Yokosuka today, for nobody else had to suffer it.
You're standing outside, in the middle of a truly beautiful Japanese summer day. Light, fluffy clouds drift past lazily outside, and the heat hasn't yet become stifling.
The world is your oyster cracker - tasty, easily destroyed and all too brief an experience.
But hey, at least you still have your sense of humor!

Crab has almost surely done something absurd - but we haven't heard a lot from parker recently and that "his work is a landmine" comment from last thread has me concerned

And you know, this was the best Yokosuka will ever be. Consider how many US ships there were. It's inevitable that more of them will come back, and bring more History with the Japanese girls with them. More sibling rivalries, more 'who-sunk-who', more trauma, more... whatever the fuck is up with Essex.
One of these days we're going to go to breakfast, and the Officer's Mess will just be on fire.

WHY DOES NOBODY REALIZE YOU CAN WALK AND USE YOUR PHONE AT THE SAME TIME
Yeah you'll bump into shit but it's still a viable option to do both.
>>21299
because whenever you double vote, planefag kills a kitten.

Probably because Parker's text message will be something to the effect of "[important new information], please come talk to me now"

Pretty much this.
"Hey, Parker, what's up?"
"I need to talk to you."
"Wish fucking granted, I'm on a secure phone."
"Asshole, I spend my fucking working days locked in in a fucking BUNKER behind a fucking STEEL DOOR with a fucking SLOT in it guarded by two ANGRY LOOKING MARINES who are picked by their ability to GLARE VERY SCARY LIKE at anyone who even approaches THE SACRED DOOR to push through a request form for perusal by THE MYSTIC SAGES OF CLASSIFIED INTEL."
"Soooo you can't talk on the phone."
"FUCKIN A, ADMIRAL, FUCKIN A"

That's odd. Autorefresh is working fine on my machine.
You should e-mail the moderation staff with the details of your browser and connection - cookies enabled y/n, java enabled, y/n, and all that, so they can figure out wtf is going on with autorefresh not working for some folks.

Wut.

No
>>21568
To prevent samefag votestacking.
>>21568
Prevents easy samefagging, both by its mere existence and by the fact that it allows real Final Destination voting.

You know, like every fucking one of you accuses the other side of fucking doing when it's a fucking waifu vote.

Don't worry, they have their heads on straight. Just look at that follow-up post; it's not "ew filthy weebs ruined our glorious utopia," it actually points out that THEY shouldn't be causing shitstorms HERE, too. So it's pretty even-handed.
Huh, I was also hitting the autorefresh issue, but it's fixed now.
Reload the page manually. Thread updater works now.
>>21641
Did they send you and Neco a word too? I'm honestly curious about this.
>>21627
I expect that after some house cleaning, possible threadbans, and threats of probably a more drastic punishment for offenders if AOOB is broken again. Bu the thread should probably be open again before too long.
>>21628
Who the fuck cares? Why the fuck are you asking me?
Can confirm manual update works
>>21580
I honestly cannot wait for the next waifu vote. It'll be great to see just how much the number of voters shrinks. I'm betting it is at least cut in half.
>>21657
I... Actually have no goddam Idea.
>>21654
>Did they send you and Neco a word too? I'm honestly curious about this.
Yeah, and they're handling it pretty well. Like adults, even. Shouldn't be an issue.

>>21774
that's 1lt, you fuck, second, Yeah, i fucking should.
Guess fucking what? I don't. Like a lot of fucking things with this whole fucking outfit, it's do what you fucking can with what ya got. They're supposed to be sending in more fucking, FORCEPRO anyway, and real fucking FORCEPRO, guys trained for this fucking shit, not just a fucking raider jammed into the fucking job like we fucking got right now.
Anyway, fucking, they ought to send another FAST company to augment the fuckers already here, but who the fuck knows when that's gonna fucking happen.

No, I mean someone said something like "they're pretty happy for aviation battleships that are pretty garbage at both roles" and planefag said it totally changed their character and would have an impact later or something
Just had a thought: has any thread besides the sticky hit the 1000 post limit yet? Since that one seems to be enforcing it by deleting old posts rather than autosagimg
>>21874
I'm picturing Lt. Dumbass opening the microwave after his little experiment.
The gel pack just sits there for an instant. Then it mutters a tiny "fuck you, boot" and explodes errywhere.
Meanwhile, a certain Colonel's forced to put down his waifu-figures and go yell at something.

The latest release is pretty nice, really. Although China is still stuck with just one sub-faction while the Americans have Army and Marine units.
>>21901

You ruined a microwave.
You made me fill out a time-loss form.

And my point is that Shoukaku's feelings for Settle are tragic, as funny as it is that he's cucked the emperor.
>>21903
That was enticingly to funny.

>microwaving an egg
Someone in my dad's unit did that with the microwave in the break room.
In fairness, this was in 1968 and nobody knew what would happen when you microwaved an egg yet, but still. Poor bastard had to clean the entire break room continuously for a month after THAT one.

yeah, we're getting more quality shitposting than quantity shitposting now
With a sigh, you pull your old ball-and-chain out of your pocket - your secure smartphone. It's encrypted six ways to Sunday, it costs a small fortune, and despite this it's mostly good for playing Candy Crush because the Navy classifies anything of real import high enough that you've got to see it in person, with a brooding Marine hovering over you lest you try to fold up the paper and smuggle it out. Snowden made quite the impression a few years back. There's a few boring e-mails, mostly confirmations from your staff that the Usual Things you're having them keep tabs on haven't thrown up any red flags recently - and then there's a two SMS messages.
... is it SMS? They don't really have that in Japan, they just use e-mail clients like instant messengers; every phone ships with its own. But this is an American base - does the big microwave relay tower in the middle of base even support that? The messenger app is a government-made one, encrypted, etc, so you don't really know-
- you must be getting old. You tap the damn message and just read it.
“Skipper. Urgent intel. See me at my place. --Parker.”
You blink, then scroll to the second one.
“P.S. Bring food please Jesus.”
“So, what are we doing?” Shoukaku asks.
“Apparently we're going to visit Dunkin Donuts,” you tell her. “And after that we're going to visit The Fortress of Sallow Skin.”
“The... what?” Shoukaku asks with a polite expression of bafflement.
“You'll see. But we'll need a ride, first.” You tap in the base motor pool's number, and request a ride. Taking a seat on the hard bench, Shoukaku on one side and Willie on the other, you spend a few minutes processing your e-mail in depth. There's one note from Admiral Thomas wondering if you've actually *met* your staff yet, and you wince internally - just one more thing that's fell by the wayside. There's a rather harried message from Goto, which starts with “DEATH” and “YOUR GONADS IN HELL” which you rather suspect was sent while quite drunk. It seems the aftermath of The Livestream Incident has had a significant impact on him as well - you make a note to talk to him about it.
Your ride arrives with a soft purr - a proper SUV, enclosed, with air conditioning. You rise, levering yourself up with a grunt as you lean on your cane - and pause.
Shoukaku's staring at the SUV like she's seen a ghost.
“What?” You look over and see that the SUV has no driver. “Oh, neat. They sent us one of these.”
“One of what!?” Shoukaku asks with alarm.

Welp, long as we are waiting, might as well add more fuel to the fire.

I'm surprised they didn't clear the whole ship before launching that thing. V2 were not entirely predictable when launched from land, let alone a carrier.
