Throw on the same thing you’ve been wearing all week plus a wool sweater.
Throw on a clean T-shirt and smile, because even after a week, your hoodie still smells like dryer sheets.
Are the first on deck from your watch and have already plotted your position using celestial navigation.

0000-0400?? Is that military time or something?
Love the fresh morning air and can’t remember the last time you saw the stars so clearly.
Go and wear what you wore all day…paint stains and all. Cheers!!
Throw on a clean shirt and some deodorant.
Are happy to be grabbing a beer with good people after a long, productive day in the sun.
Go elsewhere. You like to have a life outside of work and tend to have more friends off the ship than on.
Don’t go, because you’d rather LARP in the park or catch an exhibit at the local maritime museum.
Go. What else would I do?

Wait for your deck officer to take the con and then do as your told.
Get as much information as possible, get out your sextant, wait for the watch turnover.
Make a pot of coffee. All issues can be solved with a pot of coffee.
Are blunt and ask the current watch officer what's going on and why. You then ensure efficient sailing.
