So I was transferred from my parent division to TRANSPO - that's short for "transportation". So instead of spending my time on the ship doing busy work, I drive. Its a good gig, a lot of people are jealous because they've been trying to get TRANSPO for the last 4 years and here i come and grab it straight out of INDOC. They gave me classes on ( Read more... )

ok, so i move into the ship tomorrow. i'm in newport news, virginia (its nicknamed "bad news" because we are advised not to go outside at night, and during the day we should travel in groups of 2 or more). i've been in the indoc barracks for the past 4 days, its okay, we have cable, 3 guys to a room, and can drink in the barracks. i hear life on ( Read more... )

well i'm a week into my hands on class. I ran into the ALPO today (assistant leading petty officer) and the conversation went kinda like this ( Read more... )

So i log in today to find that it is exactly 1 year from my last post.... kind of weird. I'm not exactly where I thought I'd be, but I'm pretty close. I got through boot camp, qualified as an AO (I finally got my dream job of building weapons), am at the top of all my classes, will probably be given an advanced promotion to Petty Officer 3rd ( Read more... )

So the United States Navy has back-listed me.... which means i can't get out of here in September like i wanted, instead i have to wait around for about 4 months until boot camp has an opening.

Now if you don't know my brother, he is 22, 5'11, 180lb's, a lifeguard, and is pretty fucking jacked, so the first attempt to stop him resulted in me getting slammed into a big metal ladder, then i picked him up ( Read more... )

So the semester is nearly over and I still haven't heard back about my transfer to Bridgewater State. I've been giving it some thought, and if I don't get accepted to BSC then joining the Navy looks really good. I can get my associates degree and probably be out with only 2 years of active duty and 2 years of inactive duty. There really isn't ( Read more... )

ok, these are the magic hat caps as of late ( Read more... )

Ok, so its time to clean all the bottle caps from this semester out of my desk, so I'm going to post the last few Magic Hat messages. If you have no idea what I'm talking about just refer to the last two or three posts.... i think they're from about 2 months ago ( Read more... )

This is an update for the messages under the Magic Hat bottle caps that I've drank since the last update ( Read more... )
