Wow Fallon is even smaller than I imagined.

The total population goes up by about 20 or 30 percent when an air wing comes to town.

That was my reaction too. Even moreso when I checked out Fernley.

Yeah the wif convinced me to live in Fernley. I'm not excited about the commute but hopefully the proximity to Reno will keep her happy (Fallon was the only duty station she didn't want)

Hahaha, my chief has stealth quit the Navy.

He's acting like nothing is changing, and is just suddenly going to vanish at the end of September due to his contract running out. No one is aware that he is doing this and I accidentally found out.

Would it be a mistake to reenlist for shore duty Japan orders? I've spent a fair amount of time in Japan but I always wanted to live there for a couple years. I heard shore duty is pretty cake.

My other plan was to get out and go for a master's degree in some kind of computer poo poo and try to get a defense related job but I could still do that when I get back from Japan. I'd be 33 though.

On shore duty in Japan and unsurprisingly it sucks. Really being in the military in westpac is a pile of poo poo because retarded people just can't stop killing trannies and cab drivers.

I don't have anything set up. My chief was just telling me to start bothering my detailer about it if I wanted to go. Surprised that nobody here likes it. The only guy I talked to who had done shore duty Japan said he loved it.

DustyNuts: Jun 1, 2000; Have you seen me?

For what it's worth I've known a lot of people that really enjoyed their time in Japan. I spent five years in Europe and didn't really want to come back to the US. Some people hated it there though, "ugh, there's no Walmart/Ikea/whatever".

Probably better than Iwakuni though, at least for as long as it's a MCAS.

That said I wouldn't personally pick Yokosuka (Because it's full of boat people) but it's on Tokyo's doorstep also Atsugi's chill. I heard there's some other tiny dump in near Atusgi that can't possibly be too bad. I haven't heard anything bad about Misawa...other than SNOW.

That's all I know.

I was on Atsugi, it was ok, but going to Tokyo whenever I felt like flouting the curfew for the weekend was awesome. I bet it's great when the air wing goes to sea. I heard a lot of guys say Misawa's cool, too.

I hard a lot of "We won't have to do this stuff, don't worry about it" during the medical portion. We don't have any cadences it's just wander over out of step while some dude says left right. Next week we get the guns and I will probably be shot and killed by a negligent retard. Namaste.

During casualty care at ECS the instructor told my patient to wake up and cause commotion mid-bandaging. He also told said patient his dick had been shot off, causing a bunch of screaming. I told him "Your dick is still there!" and placed his hand on his junk so he could verify it. He then calmed down.

I am learning so much.

Wait, you're stationed in Fallon now too?

Anyhow, I may be coming down there sometime in near-to-medium future to sit in on some classes at Havok. There should be a goon meet, we could all go LARPing or something.
