The Navy is nothing, nothing, nothing....boat pulls into port and its wall to wall drunken sailors until the boat leaves.
One of my best friends was in the Corps for 12 years. He said the job of the Marine Corps was “to keep the Squids sober enough not to run the boat into something on the way to taking them (the Marines) to somebody who needs killin’”
Neither I, nor any of the other Squids I know could refute it.
It is hard for me to imagine what it must be like these days.
I heard they don’t even let you go on liberty like in the old days...you have to go as part of a tour or something.
Good God. I mean, if you visit Egypt or Tangiers, sure. And maybe England. And definitely France, and...
Hell. Probably no place you can go anywhere else in the world where some Islamic nutjob would get his hands on a lone sailor and lop off his head.
