Yes they are, and I just get seasick which is why I didn't choose navy. Don't know how those guys did it, there's really no place to hide, you really are a sitting duck which takes a heck of a lot of courage.
And the whole mast vs staff thing, it's like in the army when you say yes sir, and he says "I'm not a sir, I'm a sergeant and I work for a living." Think it's more culture than anything.
