I really don't think Cookout is that good. I have a friend that likes to eat there and I've been with him a couple times and everything tastes really mediocre. The sweet tea was really good, though. They clean the nozzles at least, for anyone that knows that taste tea gets when poured out of a dirty nozzle.

Today I decided to add something to that list: Go to Seaside Farms in Mt Pleasant. It's a nice little area. Basil is pretty good food.

They do concerts at the Dive now? I remember Vanilla Ice did one there while I was in Charleston, didn't know other people did.

Yeah, they remodeled it years ago. knocked out the interior walls, told A&W to :frogout:, and built a nice bar/stage/place to chillax. Cheep beer too.

A&W was the only good part of the Dive.

When I went TAD to NNSY, I hit the gently caress up out of that place at the NEX. Fried cheese curd things are delicious.

Tried Perfectly Franks yesterday, some of the most liquid-y chili I've ever seen, it had all pretty much ran off the dog by the time I got it. The barbecue sandwich on a dog was pretty good though. Overall I'd give it 7/10 because of the bad chili.

Went to MEPS, got a 98 on the asvab and auto qualified for Nuke. However I got a "D" once in algebra when I was a freshman in high school 8 years ago. Gotta get a waiver for that. Sitting on hands for a week hoping it goes through, if not I have to take the NAPT, which will apparently over ride the waiver somehow.

There is a dude at my last command that was trying to get denuked for sleep apnea and talking it up on facebook...until he did a sleep study and was pronounced completely healthy. Now he's posting non-stop about his anxiety attacks and how stressed he is. I think he's trying to build up a reputation/cover story for when he finally goes sad. Dude has been a nuke on a fast attack for 8 years. Then again, prototype.

Sometimes it just breaks you man I said gently caress this after 2 years on my boat, never lied to anyone or anything just finally saw a psych and I was gone....i never took meds because I thought after limdu I might be able to go back but they took my nuke poo poo and my sub qual. Its whatever though because I was still a fully qualified nuke and still went on another deployment, finished my enlistment, and got an honorable. :)

No clue why you'd be denuked for it but sleep apnea is automatic 50% disability cash money when you get out, hth. Had a MMCS with it with a CPAP in the goat locker and everything.

We had guys on my boat who would go up next to your rack and whisper your name, all sneaky like. Used to freak me the hell out. Sometimes they'd keep coming by just to gently caress with you until you were out of the rack. The real daring ones would reach in and tickle your feet and poo poo

The guys who would do poo poo like pull the fire alarm and shout FIRE FIRE and then when you were up out of bed and standing around with a fire hose all dazed and poo poo they'd be like 'Haha jk just a drill' were pretty bad but they only did that a few times per week, those birthing whisperer fucks were at you like every 18 hours

I can't get either.
gently caress you, Excelsior college. I seriously consider getting a degree from there to be one of the largest mistakes of my life.

e: wow, that sounded crazy.

Meggering happened a lot. My WCS used to catch me sleeping during field day all the time. She carried a battery powered megger around and would shock the hell out of my ears or ankles. After so many times it stops bothering you as much. I guess its kind of like being the ET off of Down Periscope.

The military might of a country represents its national strength. Only when it builds up its military might in every way can it develop into a thriving country.

No one in my division has ever heard of SA, and there's 42 of us. But that's fine by me. Most of them aren't goon worthy anyways.

At least I got my fair share of warnings and expected things to start sucking. If you guys encouraged me I could not even imagine how horrifying my first trip into the Rickover would have been.
