I don't believe in anything, I'm just here for the violence.

...barring the movie Mister Roberts(every enlisted guy was a buddyfucker), whats the most accurate to the real navy movie or book you've seen or read?
I starting re-reading Thomas Pynchon's "V", and the US Navy small boat bits in it are so full of bizzare, stupid, inane things that it screams legit US NAVY enlisted experience to me.

Yeah, I'm just bitching cause I'm surrounded by nothing but Navy for most of my waking hours.

Are people able to maintain civilian friendships as you rack up years of service?

Jesus. So when did all of the women in Boston become smoking hot? I must have missed the memo for the ugly girl purge here that happened since my last visit.

I love battleships. I think they are the best loving thing. Living in Norfolk I see the Whisky every day going to work. I like to think that if they recommissioned/brought back battleships I sometimes think I would unironically re-join the Navy (civilian now :toot:) just so I could be on one of those things.

Man, my CHENG on my second ship served on the MISSOURI as both a Fireman and an Ensign. I was jealous as gently caress.

Wasn't the main character a lawyer-SEAL-F-18 pilot?

He was a lawyer-SEAL-F-14 pilot.
