I guarantee you it's warm.  Not THAT kind of warm, but somewhere around 110 in the shade if he's where I think he is (and he wouldn't tell me, so I don't know).

LMAO...  

I remember those days.  Nothing like General Quarters for a Marine.  Really the only time I got any decent sleep on ship.  I just hated that guy over the 1MC with the "whistle".

They allow coveralls in the Fleet now?

Damn. I wish they'd done that when I was in. I hated khakis.

I believe that's a plain old LCU.

On edit:  A brown water veteran has informed me that craft is an LCM, not an LCU.

BTW my brother's new toy is an Osprey class mine sweeper.
