BDU....Idiots? Or Trolls? I Say Both!

Howard313 · 04-09-11, 01:09 AM

So, it's August, the day of my first patrol, I got my VIIB all shined up spick and span, torpedoes and food stocked, and I'm ready to go. BDU contacts me with briefing and a patrol area, informing me to patrol BF 10 for 24 hours and then to return to base.

Not even bothering to check where the coordinates lead, I jump to my U Boat, gather my men and ship off, we leave dock booking it at 18 knots gramophone playing heavy rock music that hasn't even been invented yet.

After we leave dock, me and my navigator Bernard decide to plot a course to BF10. So I plotted us out of the harbor and into the BF Sector, but from there I hit a snag.

Get a good look at that screen, because I spent a good portion of my patrol looking for the elusive "BF10" in that area, unfortunately either I'm blind or BF10 does not exist. BF11-99 are there, but BF10? Gone, nowhere to be found.

So I think to myself, maybe I misread the briefing, lets take another peek.

FFFFFUuuuuuuuuu- ahem*

***Transmission Begin-

Dear BDU,
I am writing to inform you that God has stolen my patrol sector, until it is returned I will be unable to complete this patrol officially, therefore, I'm going to spend this time I could be using to prepare for the war to instead waste an entire journey's worth of food and fuel, and believe me I have half a mind to shoot my entire stockpile of eels out randomly into the sea. Thank you, I look forward to seeing you guys upon my return of this no doubt fruitful patrol.

P.S. Next time you send me a patrol area, please make sure it exists first.

-End Transmission***
