Idk, the first couple years I was in I had no idea what the gently caress anything was. It seems strange no one would look him up when results came out and be like, "hey congrats dude!" but that just might be more sad than anything. Like, at least one person should have recognized his name on the advancement list.

Could have just had a common name, and then it gets awkward because people congratulate him when it's just some other kid in a different command.

Going to Port Huenemenenename or however it's spelled this September. Seabees are a weird group, also kind of dumb and crazy (I fit in pretty well). So if Mr. Nice! reports back I died in a tragic nailgun accident, there you go.

Or talk to a Midwesterner and learn how to play God's own card game, euchre.

It's not Gulfport, MS and it isn't wherever the gently caress the Bees are in VA, and doesn't involve ships. It's just fine

Port Hueneme is pretty alright, take up surfing or kite boarding or something. Ventura is right up the road and it's pretty awesome IMO.

Yeah but last time I was in Oxnard I got a really good burrito. Also, when I was in SD. And LA. Really anywhere in mid/southern Cali is good for a really good burrito I guess, so sure, Oxnard sucks.

While this is true, the importance of it not being Gulfport, MS or VA can not be understated.

Yeah been in VA for going on 2 years now and I can say this; I really like Norfolk (downtown and Ghent are pretty sweet) but Hampton Roads and greater VA can go gently caress itself. In other gently caress Virginia news, just bought tickets to a Monday night Modest Mouse concert at the nTelos Wireless Pavilion which I know to be in Portsmouth. Turns out there is another one in Charlottesville so that's pretty sweet. All sales final.

DownByTheWooter posted:Ventura co and central coast CA in general owns, but god drat Oxnard is a hole Yeah, Oxnard in particular is kind of a dump, but the overall area is pretty awesome. Ventura and Camarillo are nice, Santa Barbara is great, and you're an hour from LA if that's your thing. Delicious burritos abound, and the weather is more or less perfect all the time.

The only caffeine available is in the diet coke and green tea bags(suck on them). You can most likely sell your dental floss as a gum replacement a few weeks in. Take nutrigrain bars from breakfast and hide them in the space of your backpack the allows it be extended. Cookies are not so good for this because they are too round. Take your lubiderm skin lotion to one of the heads between your divisions room. Nobody likes an active-jerker in the division head.

Maybe I was just a scared kid, but the urge to jerk it never once crossed my mind there. A week later a A school otoh I probably could have cured California's drought issue.

Naturally, after months and months of waiting, I've been running around all day getting my stuff together and getting all the paperwork and forms I need, but I'm pretty much all packed and ready to go now. A bit nervous, but overall I'm glad to finally be getting on with it. With luck, I'll be graduating in late January. I hope winter in Newport isn't too bad. Winter was loving awful.
