Accelerating My Life

So I'm thinking of joining the Navy. I've been considering military service for quite a while now, mainly because they'll pay for my school and, gosh darnit, I wanna help my country out with my service.

I picked the Navy because they have the coolest places to deploy to, including Seattle, and I have a whole fuckin grip of family up in Washington, so, hey. Plus, seeing the world on the Navy's dime while learning a valuable skill sounds pretty boss.

WHAT DO YOU THINK, SE++?


Also yes I realize I'd have to drop like 90 pounds to join but hey it's an excuse and a motivator to hit the gym.

    I wonder if that song ultimately did more harm or good for the Navy...

    many times I have thought about going into the military, I am pretty sure it would fit me fine as hell

    but it's a hell of a commitment

    I know someone in the Navy. She's currently stationed in Japan. Last time I saw her, about 6 years ago, she thought Japan was somewhere near Spain. So if she can make it in the Navy, and you're apparently literate, they'd fuckin' love you.

    while it's true in most cases and i'm heading to Saudi Arabi soon, currently I am in the Ukraine and before I was in Holland.

    I've also been to France, Belgium, Germany, Moldova, and Romania.

    Just gotta work it right

    the idea of war is cool

    the technology and the power struggle and all that? cool

    the actual war with the bodies exploding and the people crying and shitting themselves in terror? not so much

    Finding a job where I live is hard enough I often consider the same thing.

    My dad joined the navy for that same reason and he went all over the damn place.

    I am a socialist dirty hippie liberal commie, so I'd rather not.

    since I'm Canadian, I could technically join the British army instead since they allow commonwealth nations to do so. Be better than training in quebec with angry french instructors yelling at you in french all the time
