ah shit Feral. Why do you always have to be at the end of every thread,
when I want to say something.
An outside view (Did I say it's an outside view? Yes,I just did) would be
that being in the NAVY can mean many things.
ah .. yall are clapping, saying "Bravo"..good for an outside view.
Ehm..But going beyond that.. If you are going to get in to the moral
dilemmas (you dont see moral dilemmas?Look again) of joining the NAVY ,
then you're gonna get exhausted. Which is probably what being in the NAVY
is like.
I wish they would have mentioned the NAVY in the bible.. cause then we'd
all know what's right, right?
Right, 30 % ever see combat..blablabla..(Im not arguing sticupus case here)
..
First of all, let me say that I dont respect simple opinions.
"Navy=killing=bad=bad navy=bad bad bad navy=very bad navy=..."
There are many good reasons to be part of a system, and there are many good
reasons to not be part of a system.
Some people consider any reason you think is a good reason to join the
navy, to be a good reason. While I understand some of those people..(I'll
even go as far as to say most of them)..I cant help but like them. But I
can not respect them. There's the difference.
If you wanna get in to a moral discussion (I wont do that), then think
about how your joining of the Navy can send the message of supporting the
killing done by the 30% (even if you spend your time scrubbing floors!).
Dolorosa..you disgust me. "we kill less than others, we just do it better".
SHUT THE FUCK UP!..OR be articulate, so that you can be better
understood.
DOLO..only a fucking moron says something like that and then says you can
hold your own in a fight. What you said, breaks my heart. And it makes me
want to kick your ass.And Im sure I could,"Dad".
If this is the attitude you put behind your days in "service", then FUCK
YOU! Fuck you very,very much.
Or explain yourself. I would love to be wrong.
Assholes have served their country too, but are they truly honorable?! I
dont fucking think so. If I was a fellow soldier, I would be ashamed to
risk my life for an asshole.
"We dont care if you're an asshole.Join the Navy! We need you! Hey, You're
an asshole regardless..so the least you can do is serve your country!"
The bad guys are bad guys.. but..
hEy, fuck it.. You dont have to be a nice guy to be a good guy! ! !
Why is that????!
Good guys killing the bad guys. !
Hey, you dont need the wisdom of Ghandi to join the navy do you?!!
What the fuck do I care if the guy that kills me had his heart in the right
place or not??
Understand that being a cityzen of the world,makes you a hypocrite.
Atleast be a hypocrite with some initiative, and join the NAVY! ! ! ! !
What does it matter what reason you have for joining the navy, if all you
are gonna be doing is cook, you ask?
Im not gonna give you an opinion, Im gonna give you an aspect.
As said by many, you do not want to go in to the navy unsure about why the
fuck you are there.
Know that the courage is acting on understanding , nothing else.
If you're not up for killing anybody,work in a hospital or do something
else in the Navy. Just dont do the actual "killing". Cook,clean..or
whatever.
Dont be in the front and be a part of those 30% unless you want to.
Be in the back lines somewhere jerking off. ..Doing something that doesnt
involve killing or supporting killing.
Just know that you cooked the chicken that fed the man that killed.
Realise, that in the Navy..The more innocent a job is..the more it sucks,
and the less it pays. I know this. And you know this, so dont pretend!
Now, let me say that my heart really goes out to those who risk their lives
EVERY FUCKING DAY.
America might be one nation, but it's certainly not one force.
One day "america" is in Vietnam dropping napalm,killing children,and raping
women.
The next day "america" is freeing a country of a dictator.
All the same system to me. Whether you're on a ship, or in a plane, or on
the ground.
If you feel comfortable with the irregularities of what is "america", then
go for it.
Maybe you'll get back from war..and start a band like Bruce
Springsteen..and sing about how you were "Boorn in the USA!".
As far as joining the navy if you dont have shit to do.. I dont feel that.
I dont feel that at all. "Booring in the USA! Boorn in the USA..I
was..Boorn.." .
If Im gonna get my head blown off , I dont want it to be by someone that
didnt have anything better to do. ____________________ Jameel |

first of all, what are you doing now? anything important? i was in the navy
for 3 years. i recommend it if you have nothing else to do, and your family
can't pay for college. otherwise, it is kind of like jail. they will have
you work so many hours, you will be getting paid like 3 dollars an hour
sometimes. you will be thinking, "i can make more at mc donalds" at times.
there aren't a lot of hot chicks at all. most of the people who you will be
working for are all losers that would be fired if they were out in the real
world. i mean who stays in for 20 years as an enlisted man and doesn't want
to become an officer or get out? there are so many people just floating
through the navy that we all wish we could get rid of. but since you can' t
get fired, they just keep them doing stupid little jobs and paying them
anyways. it's crazy! join the peace core if you want to see the world and
do somthing positive. |

not offended at all! i just thought i was unclear and wanted to make sure
that i got the idea across. Thanks for poking the words so that i could see
where i was assuming others would know what i was talking about.
And yah all jobs have some structure, so does college, and so does living
on the streets really. but it is somehting to consider in your job choices
i think, how much structure do you want, how much are you used to, and how
much would be too much for you.
One thing i have seen it to for lots of people is aid them in biulding a
sense of selfworth that they were lacking. and i think the structure might
be part of that success, in that they know what to do and and can 'succeed'
at things many times before breakfast even. that whole patteren of success
thing. ____________________ Real goths wear silver and crosses to keep the werewolves and vampires

If that is the case than you are correct. It is sturctured. But every job
has some structure. In the navy there is more stucture than most job. So
you are correct. I also did not mean to offend. If i did I apoligize. ____________________ i am a misunderstood genius... Nobody understands that i am a genius! |

I think the answer to what i call wild is in your response. That there was
a place called the smoke pit (an 'approved' place to smoke'), that you had
to be up in the morning and knew it, and that you were 'at port' are all
clues to the underlying structure.
And there is that whole wake up call thing, how someone else makes all your
food for you (most days at least), that your clothes choices are decided by
someone else, that someone does your laundry for you (ok again most days at
least), that your housing is chosen for you, and the way that you can't
change jobs as easily as someone on land can.
Does that make it more clear? Someone else chooses what you wear, when you
eat, when you wake, where you sleep, when you work, when you play, who your
roomates are, how clean your personal space must be, where you can smoke,
and so forth. ____________________ Real goths wear silver and crosses to keep the werewolves and vampires

Haa Ha ,Callei "structured life" good one. Every thing else is dead on the
money. But that lol. I have stummbled across the quater deck durnk and in
my leather shirt unbutton, with love marks all over me. Went to the smoke
pit lit one up than started puking over the side. burshed my teath than
went to bed. The next morning not a single displonary thing happened. Some
picking on for being green, but that was it. This was only my first port.
If you call this structured i would love to see what you call wild. ____________________ i am a misunderstood genius... Nobody understands that i am a genius! |

What part has you freaked burn? that you would be following the family
tradition? that you might have to live a structured life? that you want to
do something different and your family isnt supporting you in say, going to
mine school or something? do you feel that you arent ready to make a 4 year
commitment? are you worried about failing at it somehow? why dont you want
to join is perhaps a more useful way of trying to think about it that
having people tell you why you "should" or "shouldnt" or what it means to
them. Its your life after all and you have to decide how you are going to
live it. ____________________ Real goths wear silver and crosses to keep the werewolves and

Speaking entirely from the bias of someone who devours sailors for
sustenance (and good, clean fun) I whole-heartedlt reccommend yoo join the
Navy as soon as yoo possibly can and strive to get yorself on a boat (any
boat as long as it goes across the ocean) as soon as yoo possibly can!
It's a great deal! They give yoo a free funeral and everything! ____________________

Oh fuck me running,
First, Geist was in the AIR FORCE!!!!!!
Stic, for someone I have never met, I fucking can't stand your "opinions"
on the Military. You have no FUCKING clue what the Military is. I work in
a god damn Hospital. I have never killed or been asked to kill anyone. If
you did any type of research on Military life you would know that only 30%
if that go to war, in battle. They get there orders for the big dogs in
Washington and then trickles down the chain to where our boys go to war.
The rest of us work in areas where we don't even get affected by a war. I
go to work and fix computers, I finish my day and go home. AND THAT MAKES
ME A MURDERER. Go fuck yourself you fucking fag. I'm sorry to easily
offended people, but this is it. Stic, I can't stand you, you so claim
to be open minded but your not and never will be. Fuck it. If this site
is gunna keep posting this assholes anti-military bullshit, I'm done
paying for it. I work my god damn ass off for my Navy and don't get much
in return and im happy. But when it comes to fucking queers who have no
balls and at least support the Men and Women who OBEY THERE ORDERS and risk
there lives EVERY GOD DAMN DAY and PRAY AND CRY THAT THEY DON'T DIE THAT
DAY! Its people like you that spit on them when they come home and I bet
you do, or wish you had the fucking balls because you know you would get
your brains kicked in. Teach yourself about the things you hate other then
the news you son of a bitch. ____________________ "Roses are Red, Violets are Blue. I'm a schizophrenic, and so am I". |
