This might me a hot take but I think this is more of a “god dammit” situation than an “oh fuck” situation

Maybe it depends on rank? Probie me oh fuck they'll blame me, vs training officer me goddammit now we have to go over supply ops. I feel the difference.

Hmm… yeah I agree with you, definitely rank dependent

Also a nice “oh fuck, how am I going to explain this to the chief when he sees a picture” vs “god dammit, now we have to unpack and repack all of this fucking hose”.

The “oh fuck” Is probably warranted if any other dept sees this because if they do they will all be talking about it until they die of old age or chronic exposure AFFF.
