One time I forgot to lock up my MRG keys after inspections that went late (I'm sure I quickly changed and left and just forgot). Fortunately, my AENG was the SDO and figured that old, funny looking keys sitting out on the Eng's desk could be important and hid them away for me and let me know first thing in the morning.

I sent this to her and thanked her again! :)

I feel like anybody who has stood their full share of EDO has had the moment of panic off going when you realize you still have the reactor safety keys. Sometimes it’s as you’re exiting maneuvering, sometimes it’s as you’re sitting down in the wardroom for your post duty cup of coffee, sometimes it’s in the FIDE 4 hours later.

For the record, that was just a story I heard from a friend of mine on another boat lol. Nothing I would have ever done. I promise.
