Forgive my ignorance, but how does that work, civilians on a military vessel? Do they just run unimportant things like an ob-board commissary or something? Or are they specialized doctors or surgeons that the navy simply doesn't have in their ranks, so they have to hire from the private sector?

This sounds about right.
I'll just understand this thread as a boat general because I have a question, maybe there are some boat people on /n/ that know an answer. What's this plank thing mounted on the back of this cabin cruiser? is it a diving board? If so, can you buy diving boards that bolt onto various boats?

Military Sealift Command are civilians who run some navy support vessels, like the Confort, fleet oilers and other craft.

It's a gangway
>>978209
That means it supports the weight of a person, so can you dive off it?
>>978215
Well yes, but don't go and bolt a plank of MDF onto the back of your canoe.
>>978236
yes, be sure to use marine grade ply-wood
