I'M SICK OF EVERYONE BASHING MY GAME FUCK YOU I'M LEAVING FOREVER.
Actually, I'm going to be out of the loop for a few months starting tomorrow due to Navy basic training. I thought the day would never come. Tomorrow I ride to New Orleans for some processing, and I fly to Chicago the next day. From there, I'll be shuttled to Recruit Training Command in Great Lakes, IL. That's where all the fun begins.
The training itself will last for 8 weeks. I'll train physically (not bad compared to other branches), march, struggle to stay awake in a classroom setting, eat, press and fold uniforms, make a bed, fight fires, and generally become accustom to the absurd military lifestyle.
From there, I'll receive orders to my A school in Goose Creek, SC (near Charleston), Navy Nuclear Power Propulsion Training Command. By then I'll know my rating, Electronics Technician, Electrician's Mate, or Machinist's Mate, and that's what I'll learn. This could last anywhere from 1.5 to 2 years.
Considering I complete my school, I do NOT plan on re-enlisting because the Nuclear Field apparently takes a toll on its workers (6 years is mandatory). Most sailors get out and find a job in a plant or similar setting relatively quickly, or finish up a degree in a similar field.
Anyway, I've been broke the past couple of months, and have spent ungodly hours on here, refreshing and posting. I'm sure I'll be back in a few months, but with much less regularity.
Keep posting!
