At these shops you could buy magazines, newspapers, tapes, music and his own company's fine porcelain ornaments troops sent home as gifts.
Me? I have pretty much zero-interest in actually serving, but I enjoy studying military history!
I know a guy like that.
Dude is sick too, diabetes wrecking him.
Nice guy though.
No, I think they died because they were in a fucking war.
IT'S ALL SO OBVIOUS NOW
Ah yes, Tony Stark, infamous lothario and magazine stand salesman.
I reeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaalllly dont want to start a pissing contest over which is better, just wanted to know on what measure you think the navy pulls ahead? Just from the interactions I've had with a few friends that joined, the amount of stupid shit, and the lack of free time seemed to be a huge deterrent for me. I dunno, maybe that stuff is more up other peoples alleys? And not that the Air Force is sunshine and lollipops and all that.
A battle

Looks like you just answered your own question. You can stick with the lemmings bit if you want though.

I am telling ya the Coast Guard is way awesome compared to the rest. All the benfits of a military man and none of the over seas for half a year or more in a shit land. Its all stateside save for some special assignments in certain areas where you have to be a tad specical anyways. There is only a couple areas where they give you housing but its mostly they pay you to find a place on the economy even if you are single. None of that Army or Air Force neighborhood stuff.
Choose your rate choose your fate. You can get whatever job you want for an enlisted man but just know what goes with it. If you want some boating then we have that and they are small enough where you really get to know the crew and be involved in some seamanship if you want that. longest standard patrols are 3 months and you hit mostly vacation spots on port calls. If you are gung ho then get on a boarding team and get tactical or become the dude who shoots out engines on go fasts. Or be me and just work on phones and computer connections.
There is some shitty stuff but its mostly due to personal rather then enviroment. And if it is enviroment its because you chose to be a grease monkey or a toilet snake.
In my experience Navy had the better food (had AF and Marine food, no Army.) Hell even the A1 school I went to had a fantastic galley. And while I never went out on any 6-month deployments myself, I knew plenty of dudes who loved WestPacs (had fucking "yearbooks" and shit from their deployments and acted like it was Summer camp.)
5 Minute Delay Scuttles Chance at $40 Billion Air Force Deal
You ever escaped early Communist China, built up your own company still active for over 30 years, formed a monopoly in Hong Kong, smoked with an admiral and beat a 2 star general in a game of Texas Hold 'Em then sold him your own store to put on his base all before you turned 35?
I didn't think so, buster
Dude, that's awesome
Really? Really?
Also funny thing PI, this was all during the Vietnam War. And I know, right Usagi?
It is, it is.
why i think navy is the best? bias and propaganda. 3 of 6 of my immediate family are/were navy. objective wise, it's the extra pays you get for being on a boat, the travel you get to see a lot more places in a vacation like time period during your 6 month tours, and the point system for promotion seems better than the army's point system. also during a tour, boats will sail out of their way FOR YOU just to be in international waters when you reenlist, which means 0 tax cut from your $40k+ reenlistment bonus.
