working on a one shot Steve/Danny AU where they're both in the Navy and in an established relationship.

It's turning out to be a day in the life thanks to this plot bunny. Also, in my research, I found positions for both of them that would actually keep them IN Hawaii, on the Island of Oahu! I found soo much other stuff to just toss in for the day in the life for them. Since I'm not in the Navy, or military at all, it might be OOC in that respect.

That was a stroke of luck and I think (hope) the positions I picked for them actually suit their personalities. If not, whateva. it's fic.

Let's talk about how excited I am that you're doing this. I've had that plot bunny for a while but was reluctant to post it. So good luck on you're writing! I'm looking forward to reading it
:)

I am offering up my mom! She was in the navy for TWENTY years. And was even stationed at NAS Barber's point. She may not read fan fiction but she hates when I ask her something Navy and the author gets it wrong.


So ask away. We think Danny would have been in Supply.

I put Danny & Steve in Information Warfare so they could work in Cryptology and Intelligence.

The main thing I wonder, though, is what was it like on base day to day. What time they would have started and finished. I'm sure higher ranking officials were in meetings quite a bit

0600 is revely wake up call if you're not up already.
*
0700 Muster (roll call/sometimes inspection)
*
0730 Turn two (go to work)
1100-1200 Lunch ( on a ship ' the Bos'n Pipes Blow' mom says to call lunch)
1200-1600 '4pm' (1800 on a ship with a Dinner at 1700-1800)
2200 Taps lights out

* at either time is when you'll snag breakfast.


mom also said that they can't be working in the same department and be in a realtionship. So if you still keep Steve a Seal on a team then you should be good to go.

Thank you for all this information!

That time line is great and fits with what I had in mind.

I can easily change the department that Danny's in. My other thought was to have him in Law Enforcement & Security

Would it be feasible for me to have them living off base?

yes, but most people live on base because it's cheaper. Now Steve being from the island would be better set up since he could just live at home. He could also rent out a room to Danny (or two if he has Gracie).

awesome! You (and your mom) have been a great help and if I have anymore questions I know where to turn. Thanks
