Shows how sweeping WW2 truly was. I doubt there will ever be the same run of vets as the President.

None of them were drafted, and none of them joined to dodge the draft except GWB. Nixon is the only other one that could've, but he had two exemption options that he didn't exercise so it's unlikely he joined to avoid it.

We're a MCB deploying to Okinawa with detachments throughout PACOM. I don't know what a honch is, nor what LHA stands for, and I don't have to so that's a positive for my day.

Stultus Maximus posted:Hope your sports car is worth it. It's an fz-09. Honestly though up until shipyards I was fine with the Navy. I woke up, worked, got to bro down, sit in some training and get payed decently. I'm hoping things go back to the way they were before the yards. I know this is temporary. The navy has loving us down to a science. Right now my early rotation date is January 2017 to go to prototype and I am feeling like trying to do it. The new coc is trying to send a first class in my division to mast for taking a pic with a sign that says "will suck dick for DD-214". It's pretty funny watching legal tell them it might not be possible. The coc is acting like a bunch of children. It is sad seeing how much they care about trying to get this guy hosed.

Yesterday, got my orders proved for a year, printed and all. Got my house reserved on base. Planned the PCS move. This morning, the orders got denied because my NOSC wants me to fly back to San Diego. Have to redo everything. This is deja vu. Back to binge watching The Flash. gently caress it.

The honch is the bar district right outside the base in yoko. You won't spend much time there unless you're just encouraging your peers to get shithoused.

And what does awards have anything to with this? All I said was "ww2 big. lots served. doubt so many presidents will be vets in the future"

It's my *don tinfoil headdress* hypothesis that there was a dearth of non-posrhumous moh awards early on in the war because winners tended to end up in the senate with a d next to their name.

Grody posted:Anyone ever hear of someone getting mast for tattoo size being out of regs? One kid came back from a 4 day and had his wrist to his elbow in just the linework of characters from Kingdom Hearts and got ripped apart  I also have a ship from my wrist to my elbow that no one says a single thing about because all they notice is the slice of pizza next to it. And no, gently caress you, the ship isn't for the Navy. Also I came to the command with all my tattoos, so thats also why it's not an issue. Also, i need more tattoos. I want to get a guy who looks kinda like waldo, so when people say "HEY ITS WALDO" I can just be like "nah gently caress you dummy, that's the dude with a cane. You so dumb."
