It's odd, because I remember arriving, remember our class leader, Ash Wednesday there, liberty in Boston, the YP officer writing "Relax" on my evals, it being too windy once to go out, all the money I spent getting new electronics, another senior officer telling me to relax when I had to report to him because I was as tight as a spring-standing demi pointe in my shoes, a classmate telling about how when he arrived for OCS how he only had a motorcyle and a bedroll and in departure he had a pick up as well and so forth and so on. There were a pair of Ashvilles (PG) in the harbor waiting to go to some country. Very clear nights on the YP that made it quite unreal. And so forth.
But I don't remember wet trainers or fire fighting there. Since you say they must have happened, I guess having done them before on cruises and as part of SOLAS, they weren't something new and hence, just got lost in the background.
