Jawol Herr Kaptian!!!

Good luck and hang tough, future admiral! :ahoy:

Going into submarines? ;)

Although I was never able to serve, my oldest brother was a marine grunt at the tail-end of Vietnam, my middle brother was an army dogface right after 'Nam, and my dad served as a Petty Officer 3rd Class in the Navy Air Force during Korea and worked as an aircraft structural mechanic.

Their stories were always humorous, interesting, sad, and terrifying. One that my dad told me highlights the hazards of basic training quite well...

The training instructor had the sailors lined up and giving them his daily rant when he finished by asking for two volunteers for a job. "Which of you is rated to drive a 6x6?"
Two sailors cautiously raised their hands and he replied, "Mops and buckets are in the utility shed. Go swab down the Officer's Galley!"

The U.S. armed services is one of the most political organizations of social Darwinism you'll ever find. Just do what you're told and never, EVER listen to any sailor who begins a sentence with, "I got a great idea...".:rotfl:

Ok, that's enough.:88)

Well today is the day. At 13:00 hours I'm leaving for basic training. Thank you everyone for your advise. I will do my every best. Good Bye for now. I shall return.

I've always been confused by the military.
1st, they're the only group I know of that pays its volunteers.
2nd, they're expected to abuse their new employees in ways that would result in lawsuits and probably jail time anywhere else.

But what do I know? When I was a kid I wanted to join the marines, because I figured they must be the ones who got to ride in submarines. It made sense to me.:88)

Good luck.

Best of luck to you, I`m a 20yr. vet U.S.M.C. fair sailing, and may you get the ports you want. Puts:up: :up:

Well this is my offical last post for this thread. Once again thanks for all the advise everyone. I should be back around march at the lastest. So Good Bye, Good Luck, and Good Hunting. Kptlt. Hellmut Neuerburg signing off.:cry:
