I have quite a bittersweet feeling as of right now towards getting out of the Navy. I've been asked over and over again what I'll be doing once I get out. With a smile and a facade of pure confidence, I tell those who ask that I'm going back to school, perhaps look for a job...something believable and clever so that they won't question my future ( Read more... )

Today, while I was on watch, a certain officer left a bad taste in my mouth. I love how these motherfuckers think that just because they graduated from a four-year college with a degree in fucking ceramics or something as useless as that, have the right to treat the enlisted personnel like imbeciles, talking down to them with absoutely no respect ( Read more... )

As I sit here on the barge, on my duty day, wasting away my beautiful and precious youth in what is known as the Navy, I've had the time to rewind back, and reminisce on the past four years of my life ( Read more... )

Indeed, my deployment will finally be over, as I pull into the sunny valley that is San Diego; and in a few months, I'll be bidding adiue to the Navy, as I depart it for good. The feeling is absolutely incredible and of course, scary at the same time. Another chapter has ended on this long, heart-wrenching journey, and soon another chapter will ( Read more... )

What up, kids? Well, they finally got me. Indeed, when you board a ship, and you're E-4 and below in rank, you have to go three months, of what the Navy calls, "FSA," which is known as "Food Service Attendant," or the old school word known as, "cranking." And they got me. I work in the kitchen all day, washing dishes, serving the chiefs, senior ( Read more... )

Well kids, I haven't updated lj with a picture post for quite a while; the last time I did, I believe I was back living in Korea. And indeed, what a coincidence, as my ship returned to Korea a few days back, and here's a few pictures with some old and new buddies of mine...

( Good Times In Korea. )

We are hitting Korea in a few days. Indeed, it will be quite a bittersweet moment to return to a place with such wonderful memories; and unfortunately, I am unable to share it again with the old friends who made Korea so damn amazing...

93 more days until I reach home.

As for you, you made my life worth living...

We'll be hitting Guam in less than a week. From what I've been told by a good amount of people from the ship is that Guam is nothing but a small island, infested with strip bars, hookers, and clubs. Can we say, "party-hardy, yo"? Indubitably, kids. Chyeah ( Read more... )

Alright kids, it's that time again. Our tour out to sea as a four month deployment will begin starting tomorrow morning, as we say good bye to San Diego, and hello to the murky waters and the unknown. I'll see yall cool cats when summer rolls around, but until then, take of yourselves. Be well, be safe, my friends...
