Good one. We landlubber Reservists sound funny when we tell people we will meet on the second "deck" of the reserve center for muster. Hey, you do what you can

Actually the 2nd floor would be the 01 level. One level above the main deck. The second deck on a ship is one down.

LOL too funny, too true! At least I know what part of the reserve center is the bow, there is a big anchor by the front door

They put the quarterdeck at the bow? How strange.
