I'm not 100% sure, but I think they assign you your buddy. We all learn something new everyday. I've been married almost 4 years to my sailor and sometimes I still have no idea what is he talking about.
Do you know what is your daughter's job?

gonavymom all sailors are supposed to have a buddy at all times when getting out of the ship, for safety reasons. This is my hubby's 2nd underway. We got here in Jan and I would love to go to Fleet Week in NYC but I'm starting a new job next week and cant take off :(
