Officers are generally two to a cabin, with a couple exceptions. The Supply Officer, aka The Supply Bob, gets a cabin to themselves since they have a nice shiny big safe. There are a couple cabins on frigates that have more than two bunks, for the most junior of officers. Cabin 0 has four bunks and Cabin 6/8 has six or eight bunks....... if memory serves.

I ask only because I have seen it on US ships (can also be seen in many episodes of the documentary "Carrier"), and one of my primary forms of keeping in contact with friends is email I can do snail mail perfectly fine too :warstory:

The_Unabooboo said:What about personal laptops. In the last two years the new net books have gotten smaller and cheaper. Are they allowed to bring or are only CF issued computers allowed on deployment? I only ask since I'm thinking of joining and I have both a laptop and net book. I was a PI until I got layed off last month. Also, about how big are the bunks as I am quite tall.
