Thanks for the feedback from the first chapter. I'll be adding new chapters when I can. I just ask your patience.

A few days pass as Dave Krieg gets settled in on the ship and starts to learn what is expected of him. As promised Chief Baron acts as if nothing happened that first night and sets about getting her department ready for the upcoming deployment to Central America.
"So Dave, this is the forward aid station, your battle station." HM2 Chris Daniel said. They were forward in the ship, just short of the forward gun mount and missile launchers. There is a damage control station (DC Locker) across the passageway from a small alcove where the two men were standing.
Chris handed Dave a small key ring with a number of keys on it. He listed off which key was for where until he got to the key with the red markings. "This key unlocks all of the cabinets here and also releases the exam table from the bulkhead." He indicates to Dave to open everything up. "Go ahead and try it out."
Dave pops the lock open and sees that the table is idiot proof and quickly sets it up.
"Good. Now, during GQ you will set up here, and any medical emergencies forward will be brought to you here. I will be running the station just like this aft and Chief and Jenna will stay in the office taking any major injuries and the overflow from us. You will have 4 stretcher bearers and a phone talker assigned here too. Any calls for help, you send the bearers to get them and bring them to you. You are to stay here." Chris said. "Chief wants you to spend the morning here getting acquainted with the station. After lunch we will work on something else. Have fun, and if you need anything, I'll be in the office running sick call." With that Chris turned and headed back to the office.
Dave spent the next few hours going through the FAS, checking bandages, I.V. fluids, and other aid equipment. He also spent a lot of time checking out the two women who were working in the DC locker. One he recognized from his first day. The short, hot, hispanic girl with the very tight ass. Fernandez, Dianne Fernandez. The other was very tall, 5'10 ish, with dirty blond hair done up in a bun. She had an easy smile and brown eyes that seemed to sparkle. The two women were also looking across the way and chatting about the new man.
"I met him the other day. You should see him in his white uniform!" Dianne said to her friend DC2 Annie Bliss.
"He looks pretty damn good in those Blueberries" (The Navy Working Uniform NWU, also called blueberries because they are a silly blue camouflage, on a ship,)
"Look at those arms. I'd love to have those wrapped around me, throwing me around the bedroom." Annie says with a big hopeful smile. "I'm gonna go ask him out before one of the other girls gets her claws into him!"
"What if I want him?" Dianne asks "I did see him first."
"Knock it off Di, everyone knows you like girls. Besides, what about that mystery squeeze you won't tell me about?"
"Bullshit! I'm not a lesbian! I like dick too." Dianne says with a laugh.
"Alright, alright. Let's get this stuff put away and go flirt with Doc." Annie says and starts to put the damage control equipment they were inspecting away.
The women finish up and secure the room before heading over to where Dave was putting his area to order.
"Hi Doc, do you remember me? We met on your first day here?" Dianne asks.
"Of course I remember, DC3 Fernandez, right?" He replies, holding out his hand to her.
She takes it and says, "Yep, but call me Di. And this is Annie Bliss."
Dave moves his hand over to Annie and looks into her eyes which are nearly level with his. "Great to meet you Annie. Please call me Dave, or Doc. Either works for me." Annie's hands are soft, but firm and strong. "This woman is Amazonian and sexy" Dave thinks wondering if he'll get to see more of her soon.
"We are about to head to lunch, care to join us?" Annie asks, still holding Dave's hands in hers and looking into his green eyes.
"Very much. Let me put this stuff away and I'll be happy to join you." He turns to finish shutting his area down.
"I'm guessing this will be your GQ station?" Di asks. "We will be GQ buddies, mine is that DC locker right there. Maybe we can have a GQ party." All three laugh knowing that during an emergency or even a General Quarters drill they would be way too busy to do more than nod to each other in greeting.
"That was my station but I'm rotating out in a couple weeks. I will be an instructor at the DC "C" school." (C school is where sailors learn the basics of their chosen specialty)
"Outstanding! Easy duty coming up. 5 day work weeks, off at 4. Duty rotation every 8 days. Nice one! You must really know your stuff, they only take the best to be instructors. Congrats." Dave says and gives Annie a quick hug. She quickly hugs him back and they each feel the strength and firmness in the other.
"Break it up you two. Let's go to lunch." Di says with a chuckle. The other two quickly step apart, with smiles and slight blushing on Annie's face.
