I joined in 2010, but I got a LOT done in the 5-6 months I had in PSZ before I joined. The rest of the majority came from when I was in Nuclear Power Training in South Sarolina, before I dropped and got sent to be an undesignated Fireman (low-ranking engineering) on BHR, and then I went up for advancement in April of last year while on the Essex and made it into the Gunner's Mate rate as a 3rd Class Petty Officer, and just earlier this year, I advanced to Gunner's Mate 2nd Class Petty Officer (E-5 in the Navy; Seargent by other military branch standards). Had a fun time thus far. As for PSZ time, I found time when I was off- and on-duty, we don't work ALL day, 7 days a week, but I did have little free time that I managed to scrape by on in PSZ. :P
