I really love hard, physical labor. Being active is a hobby of mine and 90% of the reason I chose the Navy was for the travel. If I don't like it I'll just attempt SEAL school. :v:

Quick edit: Oh, just curious: if you washout of SEAL school does the Navy make you do a lovely job? A couple people have brought that up but it just sounds dumb.

It feels like IT school has all the bud washouts. Seriously every other jock looking dude here is like "oh I washed out of buds due to shin splints" or some such garbage.
I get it, you pussed out and now you got sent to nerd school.

the tradition probably goes back to the lash. you wouldn't want to be friends with the guys you were supposed to lash. also, bring back the lash

Bosun mates did the whipping. They ate with the crew and at times had to whip each other as a matter of course.

Closest thing to a chief back in ye old age of sail would be what they called a warrant officer(specialist) or a master(good enough sailor to run a ship but not connected enough to become an officer). Ate with each other and junior officers(all other offices but the captain or acting captain).

Just got called on to duty to drive from 2200 to 0200. Thankfully class starts at 0600 and we just got some reserve admiral visiting my class so it's not like I have to be fresh eyed and bushy tailed.

Supposedly my class got picked for a visit because we have two reservists and its a reserve admiral.

I hope he doesn't notice the room is 85. They moved out the fan for his visit. Perhaps they will fix the AC instead?

Thank God. The worst feeling would be having a GIPer as a student that I'm actively teaching and for us to both realize it.

Hahah really? If your active Navy I'm probably older than you by a decade so I'm really not the average student. Anyways he came into our class and immediately commented about how hot the room was (82f)(AC broken).


A student in our class fell asleep during his speech and got handled ..... roughly.... by the chiefs.

I'm an officer now so can't be hanging around the barracks looking for cheap deals from desperate boots. But reminds of a story when I was in A school in Great Lakes where I bought a PS2 and 15 games for $50 from an alcoholic who lived on my deck. He was desperate for a fix and nobody was interested in buying PS2 and a bunch of JRPGs. This was back in 2006, so it was a great loving deal. When I left I sold my PS2 and all games for $200.

What gets junior Sailors the most trucks, single moms, or alcohol?

If you get the truck the single moms are easier to get no?

Welp. Just spent the weekend getting mild looks of disgust from the staff of Naval Lodge. My little buddy flew in his 18yr girl from back home. He had to rent two rooms (one for him and his lady and one for me and another buddy). While he was getting his dick on I spent the weekend playing Skyrim. It was pretty obvious the staff thought we perverts.
I can't wait till he's a bit older and less embarrassed about these things so we can just share a room and politely look the other way while we gently caress.

Corry loving sucks for not having a goddamn hotel.

Lol should have gotten a room at the hotel that has boomerZzz (or buddyzzzz wtf). You could have caught crabs from the bed and gotten shot or stabbed at the bar.

Why did you have to get a room with your pal? Liberty buddy poo poo? Did you offer a Devils three way?

We are on a three sailor liberty restriction. Since I figured he was gonna dump her after this trip I offered but he said no.

He's really planning on dumping her after she gets home.

Good sailor.

So does he have a Mustang or a Raptor?

I was kind of hoping to see something along those lines (because I wanted to drive it) but nope just beaters in my class.

There is a raptor on base but not sure who owns it.

It was about 2-3 years ago they started offering Roth TSP in addition to traditional TSP. Roth contributions get taxed at what you put in but everything you make over the life of the account is tax free- or so the liberals say, things may change when I reach retirement age.

Also, not sure if this has been covered but they named a LCS after Gabby Giffords and it's due to hit the water soon. Anyone else see the irony in naming a warship after someone who is anti-gun and part of a party that is generally anti-DOD spending?

Some sort of joke about astronauts and being able to operate with no brain at the helm but I'm not a writer.

Well they're doing it to send a message to all the young idiots. I don't think you're quite in the target demographic. You're probably pretty close to the same age as the guy that's conducting the mast.

I got the best Navy luck. I just got moved to the first floor of the quarterdeck(swank) with a doctors notice and now (one day later) I'm one hairbreadth away of getting kicked out to make room for all the restricted punks getting moved in.
