From what I've seen, mil marriages can do OK if you: - met her when she was past the 'formative years' that used to mean 'not a teen' but now reaches to like 26 - met her in a way that had absolutely loving nothing to do with the mil or anyone within three degrees of separation of any other DOD employee - keep her completely and totally separate from everything and anything mil, including the base, PX, medical, and absolutely any and all social functions. Like you're a regular husband with an odd schedule and poor corporate choice in dress code. Violate any of those and she immediately gains 300 pounds, destroys your credit cards and stocks your front porch with Tide

You'd think getting married would be punishment enough, but then they go and have 3 or 4 kids. Congrats, now your wife is fat and bitchy, and you don't get to sleep ever again.

The worst is having a chief who despises his home life/family and thus stays at work purely because of that fact.....navy leadership isn't childish at all no sir!!

I joined the Navy when I was 18. My wife and I married when I was 25 and she was 27. It's our 6th anniversary today. We have an awesome (almost) 4 year old. We all have an awesome time, all the time. Marriage rules. Just don't marry a lovely person and you won't have a ton of problems. The things Snowdens Secret mentioned do apply in my case. She hates FRGs, spouse outreach anything, hates going to the NEX (overpriced) and Commissary (lovely food). Having to go to medical sucks too, because some of the civilians are absolute wastes of space, and a lot of the corpsmen are doofy motherfuckers. We stay the hell away from pretty much anything Navy.

You said med board earlier, wife with an ee job and how you've been there for almost three years so I'm pretty sure this is just Phil mk 2. If that's the case your marriage works because you married a mail order bride.

All I see on the Shellback and FC groups are people trying to get other people to buy their lovely Teespring shirts, and of course with the mentality that makes up those groups, most of those loving awful shirts get sold.

Welp, in Hawaii for a few weeks for Rimpac. Open to suggestions for the Pearl/Honolulu area. I already met my goal of "get an enormous plate of horribly delicious food" in the form of a Loco Moco. Apparently there's an off-limits establishment called "Sexopolis". So now my plans are pretty much shot.

Depends on what you're really looking for. I lived there for 3 years. Boon lived there for quite a while, as well. Go to north shore to see some waves. Also go to giovanni's shrimp truck and ted's bakery while you're up there.

^^^ Listen to this man about the shrimp truck and bakery - they're great. Should be the perfect time of year to go free-diving/snorkeling at Shark's Cove - there are a ton of lava tubes up there just to the north of the cove that you can dive down into and swim around and explore. Some will lead you into the middle of the bluffs. Get some chocolate chip pancakes with coconut syrup. Nightlife? gently caress Waikiki, Chinatown was always more fun and had my favorite Chinese restaurant - Little Village Noodle House on Smith Street. Murphy's had some great Irish/American food and is on Merchant Street. Go hike the valley floor trail in Palolo Valley (follows a creek up into the mountain, up and over three waterfalls and ends in a giant crater where you can continue to hike the ridgeline which will overlook the north part of the eastern island or turn around). Palolo Valley is east of Manoa valley, all north of Honolulu proper. Grouplove is playing there on the 21st if you're still there. Go see them, they're a lot of fun. Go get tumbled in the waves at Sandy Beach just to the north of Hanauma Bay on the eastern end of the island. Don't think you're better than those waves though, that beach has the most broken necks per year than any other. Fun though. Boon fucked around with this message at 04:03 on Jun 30, 2014 |

Boon says gently caress waikiki, but I don't. I'm partial, though, because I used to live down there.

# ? Jun 30, 2014 04:01 |

Haha, yeah, I used to live just outside of Chinatown so I'm a bit partial as well. Seriously though Waikiki is a lot of fun, but it's more touristy. What was that one bar down on the beach, Rumfire? That was always pretty sweet. Also, take a booze cruise while you're there. Boon fucked around with this message at 04:06 on Jun 30, 2014 |

My favorite places in Wakiki in no particular order are Irish Rose, Hideaway, King's Pub, and Arnolds. I know a lot of the staff still at these places. I miss it from time to time.

Snappers is amazing because of their deep friend cheese curds. There still have a mug or two hanging there with my name on it. I like Da Smokehouse as well, not so much because of the food, but once again because I'm friends with the staff and would hang out often.

O'Toole's in Chinatown was my haunt. Irish rose when I didn't feel like walking as far. Go to steak plate right on pearl harbor next to the hickam gate. Cash only but one of the best steak plates on island. If you get overnight and want a cheap decent hotel the Mali Skycourt is great when the Hale Koa is booked up. Senor frogs and Moose McGillicuddy were full of marines all the time. maitai cruise is a great idea. Leaves from the outrigger area

He was the chief that would yell at me for glorifying drinking, yell at the division for drinking on liberty and then come in at about 0600 from the Honch stinking like booze with red eyes and barely able to stand.

It always amazed me that there are people that think telling sailors not to drink when you pull into port was worth nything more than farting in the wind. My standard spiel was along the lines of "I know you're probably drink no matter what anyone says. What isn't ok is to not take care of each other and not coming back together." Amazingly, I never had to deal with any ARIs.

We pulled into Port Canaveral (which was about the best port we ever saw, for what that tells you) one time during a particularly unpleasant underway, and I can't remember if it was the captain or the cob but one of those guys got on the 1MC before dropping liberty to give us a speech about how they didn't want to see us drinking ourselves blind and spending the night passed out in a ditch. IIRC we marched across the brow shouting "To the ditch!" Getting a hotel room in a town like PCan when you're pulling in barely before dusk anyway is a non-happening event, we were lucky to have a duty van to shuttle guys around, so sleeping in the ditch was hardly a metaphoric event. I remember one guy came back from conking out on the beach, with half his face still covered with sticky sand, and the other half badly sunburnt.
