Argonaut week 3


 I've been pretty busy. What with figuring out how to do my work, work itself and enjoying down time.

Nearly every night there is a social function in the mess.

Except when I'm on nigjt shifts I go in.

Also today I f8nally got my Jetboil!

There is a second version which I'll look into getting as the esbit systems I'm having issues with getting fuel tablets
