Just starting my collection

Ha! Not sure I've been called that before and thank you!
The ones you refer to with the , and I had to do it too, keep the ship...shape!
And when I served, DC (Damage Control) was part of the HT rate along with ALL the other fabrication ratings. I was a metal fabricator and also the fire 'On Scene Leader' on my ships.
It's good that DC is back to being a dedicated rate. It's too important to not be.

 

There's training requirements we have now for each DC/emergency response role. I never was the Lead, but primarily a stretcher-bearer/medical emergency kind-of-guy.
