    I love these photos..not a sign of the paint wielding seamen hanging around the paint store having fag or the guy in the fan room fast asleep.

    You don't get to smell the cooking on top of the diesel on top on the shit plant on top of your cabin mates week old dirty socks cos the washing machines have packed in or your short of fresh water...

    Iery true to life I must say.
    Covid 19 is not over ....it's still very real..Hand Hygiene, Social Distancing and Masks.. keep safe

      Why don't the members on deck wearing body armour have the life vest to go with it? If they go over, their gonna sink like a stone.

                The boarding team have a built in life jacket on their vests but the .5 crew are just wearing standard army flakers with no life jackets.

                      As modeled by Henry here, the flakkers are actually armoured lifejackets, albeit in DPM.

                        They are not lifejackets, they are just the standard army flakers.

                            I didn't actually think of that, I was thinking more along the lines of that if they fall in wearing body armour there gonna sink fast, the DF did actually get life vests to work with them.....

                              Its for augmenting his air supply by allowing a seperate cylinder to be attached and decant air into his own cylinder. it is not to extend his air for fire fighting. Mostly used when wearing chemical suits to augment supply during decontamination. Can also be used if pinned in a smoke filled atmosphere so your main supply doesnt run out.
