So a while back I made a post about joining the military, and not shipping out for a long time. Well, I finally made it through boot camp. I'm now a sailor! I graduated May 20th from division 926. Right now I'm in CTR A school in Pensacola, Florida. I just wanted to thank everybody for their support and advice.

Congratulations! Be sure to keep us updated on what you're going to be up to. If you're ever in the neighborhood, I know I'd be willing to sit down and buy you a drink.

Hehehe. Congrats man, and welcome to the family. A few guild lines for P-Cola.

Watch out for Corey Love. DO NOT be one of the dumb asses that marries their A school sweety. It's just sex, don't think otherwise. Everyones hormon levels are fucking jacked through the roof from boot camp. Every person I know that got hitched while I was there is now divorced. She says lets get married, fuck her one last time then kick her out. And don't "marry for the money". It's nort that much.

If you are under 21, do not go to the hotel parties unless it is a small group and you personally collect ever damn camera that comes in the place. They are real dicks about underage drinking there.

Other then that, have fun while you are there, and study your ass of in school. It can be a fun job field. And if they want to send you to Hawaii, tell them to piss off. Just trust me on that. Well, you won't have any say, but push for overseas man. Japan is fucking awsome. I don't know if they are handing out dream sheets still or not, but in the extra comment box, DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT put "Any place but X" They will send you to X every time. I put "C school and over seas highly desired" and I was the only one in my class to get the orders I asked for. What was you division in Boot camp, BTW? State flages, drill squad, or body cathers? I was 912, State flags, but that was a about 6 1/2 years ago. Have fun with man. There is a lot of stupid BS you will have to put up with, but there is so much you can do. You made a good choise.

Congratulations. Hope you get as much out of it as I did. One of the best decisions I ever made, changed my life. Probably kept me out of prison.

I didn't go to AT A School in P-Cola, the school moved down there from Millington right after I graduated. But these are EXCELLENT points, particularly the 1st 2 paragraphs. I got married to my "A" school sweetie and it was without a doubt the biggest mistake I have ever made in my entire life. Seer speaks the truth, all those couples who are so in love right now will be cheating on each other before you know it. You want to have sex with the chick squids, go for it. BUT DON'T GET MARRIED. And stay out of trouble off-base. The Navy is VERY sensitive to that sort of thing right now. If you're going to drink underage, do it in your barracks room so that when you get caught, you only get mast and restriction, not thrown in jail out in town.

Again, have a good time, it is possible to do without breaking the rules. Work hard in school and harder in the fleet and you'll go as far as you want in this Navy. Get your ESWS or EAWS (preferably BOTH) as soon as you get to your first command, you need them.

-i know it feels great to have the renewed sense of freedom, don't do anything stupid.

-learn your job and be the best at whatever you do.
-make some good friends and take care of your fellow sailors.
-have a heck of a lot of fun.

Anchors away.....

course this gives oppurtunity to tell my old naval joke

A seaman is getting ready for his 6 month cruise but worries about his nympho wife being faithful

So he goes to a curio store and tells the owner he needs something to help his wife.

The owner pulls out a little box and opens it and inside there is a very small penis.

"WTF", says the sailor.

The owner smiles and says, "watch... Dick in the box the hole in the wall"

The penis grows to immense size and popps into the hole in the wall gyrating and just going to town.

The sailor in amazement says, "I'll take it."

The Owner says "ok but remember you must say this exactly..... dick in the box back in you box"

POOF the penis shrinks and is back in its box.

The sailor goes home and explains to his wife and shows her how to use it.

She loves it and says she will use only Dick in the Box and think of him.

Our sailor is gone for a week and his wife is extremely horny and cannot take it any longer so she pulls out DIck in the Box, gets naked and says, "Dick in the Box my box"

Well, Dick in the Box just goes to town and works its magic pleasing her, but after 3 hours she is sore and needs it to stop. She just can't remember how.

She gets in the car and races to the curio shop.....

A cop pulls her over for speeding.

"Officer, I'm sorry but I have ths Dick in the Box and he won't stop and I can't take it anymore. I have to get to the store before it closes and find out how to stop it."

The officer smiles and looks at her..... "Dick in the box my ass".
