Ahh it’s submarine horror story hour? Well without the fun parts mine ends with “So they we were, after a drill where things unexpectedly broke, at depth, reactor scramed and steam stops shut. On one emergency power supply, with our control room indecisively being dipshits and almost overloading and tripping out that last one, stuck doing a very very slow left turn and climbing with a butthole clenching sloth pace”

Just warm enough in the day to soak your clothes with sweat and then as soon as the sun went down you were freezing. They actually pulled a guy out for a couple hours when we were in the camp phase because he was shivering so badly.

We were all shivering at camp until a ninja in our group disassembled the camp spigot and threw the pieces over the fence. Lol.

Nice. Warner Springs in July, at least for the field portion, was basically like a Boy Scout trip without food. Hike around, learn survival stuff, camp out under the stars cuddled up with a big warm Marine... Yeah it got chilly at night, but compared to the horror stories from my friends who did Maine in the winter I've got no complaints.

I did the whole Maine in February thing. It was cold and I learned that you can get stuck in a snow drift if you walk away from camp to piss in the middle of the night without snow shoes. My advice is to never cross the road and don’t sign anything. Also eat and drink so much in Portsmouth the week before you don’t lose any weight during your outdoor adventure.

Can confirm its a frozen wasteland. It's pretty decent in the summer tho.

The only people that struggle are the idiots who try to turn it into some sort of competition. It's honestly probably some best conceived and executed training in the Navy. And you'll have some hilarious stories when it's all said and done.

CountFosco posted:Realistically, how old is to old to join the navy? 39 for the reserves ( do eet) and 34 for the active branch. You must also have a high tolerance for idiot man-children. I joined at 37 and get treated very well though. As a reservist my age blends in better and not much is expected of you at first. Year 4 and still chugging along.

I'm 34. Physically fit and I have a higher education behind me. Would it be unrealistic to waltz into a navy recruitment and say, hi, I've read Mahan's Influence of Sea Power, officer please? I sense that would be unrealistic.

I want you to imagine for a moment that your boss will be maybe 25 and very, very stupid. You will be trapped in this situation with no control of your life for a number of years. Are you certain this is what you want in life?
