[QUOTE]Originally posted by Hobbes: [QB] Intruder is correct. I never worked on the bridge, and only occassionally even went up there. Most of my time during WestPac was spent in CIC. In CIC the Tactical Actions Officer (TAO) was in charge. That position was held by four lieutenants in a 3 section watch. The watch rotation was 7-12, 12-17, 17-22, 22-2, 2-7. In other words, if you had the 7-12 watch you would be off until your next watch, the 22-2. The TAO's job is as the name implies. Should something happen and the captain isn't around he has permission to fire weapons. He also tells the OOD on the bridge what to do. My position in CIC was Electronics Warfare Supervisor. I'd analyze the radar off other ships and aircraft. Even if we couldn't see it, we could tell what type of ship it is by it's radar. Also if they're using their navigation radar or a fire control radar I determine if it's a possible threat. As for watch rotation, there was 3 of us and we did 7-12, 12-17, 17-24, 00-07. So when we weren't on watch we were basically on-call if something needed to get done. Unlike Star Trek we don't get to wear civilian clothes if we're not working. When we're inport it's a different story. You pretty much work from 7-16 like a normal work day anywhere else and you're off. Generally Fridays everyone tries to get out as early as possible for the weekend. However, if you have duty you have to stay the whole day which sucks. [/QB][/QUOTE]
