Because that's what's most improbable about the show

I refuse to believe that anyone would ever say "fracking" and not be talking about oil.

Of course today is the day that everyone that knows I was in the navy messages me saying "go navy you watching the game?"

You can't really waste TA. On the flip side, I got my class schedule for the Spring semester! How was the Calculus for you? I haven't done it in around seven years and am a little nervous.

If you're worried about calc, go buy a pre-calc book right now and study up on your algebra. You won't grasp calc without fully grasping algebra.

Will absolutely never happen. Even 3 year tours are reserved for shore duty/"cooling off" periods, with 2-year tours generally for OCONUS sea duty and 1yr (average) deployments. Scroll up to the tidbit I just wrote about diversity. The Navy wants offices with a diverse background. 4 + 4 years = 2 whole tours by the time you're coming up for O4 which is not even remotely diverse or broadening.

3-year tours do not happen anymore, at least not in the SWO community. Not signed up for department head? Then gently caress you. Ol' Captain Black, who thinks SWO DIVOs show up to their ship knowing how to lead their sailors, that ASW-LCS is the greatest thing since sliced bread, and that the new LHD is going to be loving amazing for the F-35 says gently caress you. Literally.

He's also probably the most helpful person in the Navy threads, so there's no way he could be an officer :smug:

Can any noble confirm receiving salutes feels like this?

My lord

Walking past a line of very junior/fresh out of bootcamp enlisted is a nightmare because of this.
