You need to pipe down. I have been in five years less than you and what you say is somewhat true. What the hater says is 60 percent not true. He/She is entitled to feel like that. You know how Chicago will turn you into a drone. Also, come on man, dont sweeten it up for people. Then Navy has people like yourself, who feel they deserve something for being tenured. No ...u deserve nothing but respect for the job well done so as do I. It took a while to realize it too for me. He does matter to me in my Navy no matter how angry and jaded he/she feels right now. They are all our Sailors. I get very angry and mad at the Navy and yes its sucks total ass. I feel cheated cause I gave ten years of my life to an organization that will willingly send my cohorts to war with faulty body armor to be slaughtered. I hate been engaged by assclown idiots who got beat up all threw high school then the Navy puts khakis on them an now they are gangstas all of a sudden. The Navy has bad shit about it, more bad than good..and you know it so break his balls (hater I mean) but dont leave out the shitty parts of the Navy too. I totally understand your love for the Navy too. I used to have that love, but being fucked around by superiors made serving my country more of a Master/Slave relationship than a patriotic one.

Ya Mr. Braver, it's nice to hear that coming from an officer. A man who lives a completely different life from the average "scumbag" Seaman. The fact is that some people don't like to be treated like garbage by "superiors" who are generally narrow minded, many times insolent, and unappreciative rough necks who like to throw their weight around and bully those who are unfortunate enough to have agreed to all this madness. The ideas you perpetuate are simply ridiculous. I guess the fact that you have a degree warrants that you be treated like a god by over half the navy. Let me fill you in... nobody out here in the good ol' civilian world cares about your rules or your traditions, all they care about is that you do your job and use their tax money properly. The disipline and the bearing that you people pride yourself in are lost on the young ones that you train because these things are obsolete in the age old game of trying to "shape" young men and women. This is a new world with new people who have new ways of life. The military needs to learn how to adapt more quickly to the world around it and the people that are coming from the civilian world into the military world rather than trying to force things on people that are only going to push them away and make them even less effective workers. I love how you say, "I've seen your type before", like you know this guy. How about not just going for the "he's a loser" bit and maybe consider that it might just not have been right for him. I think narrow mindedness and stubborness are character aspects of a loser, and you seem to display those aspects in my opinion. As I, being one of experience, know that many of your colleagues in the navy do as well.

The Navy is the worst thing anyone can do to them selves, it really SUCKS!!! I spent 6 long years in the Navy and I could not wait to get out, it was like being in prison. There is lots of idiot chiefs that have no clue what the real world is like.

Wow I just spent the past hour reading the guestbook on the www.funtimenavy.com website. Anyone thinking about joining the Navy should read all the hundreds of complaints by the sailors on that site before talking to a recruiter. I sure wish I did.

Another interesting thing to do to get info about the Navy is go to google and type in "F**K the Navy"
then you will get many more stories about the Real Navy not in the commercials.

first of all for all of you that are not in the navy or are speaking on behalf of your siblings you do not know the first thing about the miltary so stop trying to justify it. second if your on a surface ship congrats u made a better and easier choice than i did(that also goes for commissioned officers) so i dont see what you're complaining about either. Let me just say the new and improved navy is horrible it is filled with so many rules and uneccesary regulations it is sad. more time is spent comptiplating over procedures and permissions than actually finishing work loads. Many of you probably have the same opinion the military is WACK for those of you that dont i hope u eventually see the light.

" My word is my bond, and I believe strongly in that. As long as I'm a member, I will dedicate myself to personal growth & professional development and the growth & development of those I work for & with."

Im in the Navy, guess what you work with me and i'd be disgraced to work beside you with your ignorance. I feel that all I want to say is im embarrassed to wear the same uniform as you. Reading this as a junior sailor, its people like you who bring the whole military system down in so many ways. Stop aspiring to be the blogging king and serve your enlistment or get out.

The Navy will ruin your life in one way or another. I did my time, honorably with several medals and commendations. That does not negate the fact of the BS that is the US Navy. Anyone thinking of joining do yourself a favor and join another branch, any of them, does not mater which they are all better. If not be prepared for bored 'khakis' looking to fuck over your life just for their amusement. I saw it happen way too many times.

Bob you are dead wrong it is not the people who joins and find out how full of crap it is. That ruins the military system. It is the system itself. It is self serving organization. Hidden behind false patriotism and pseudo warrior cliche's. So before you tell someone to be honorable challenge them first to a duel then you can tell them to be honorable. Because without doing so you are being classist. Meaning what you are saying is you are of a higher standard than another. "Do what I say" You are wrong first you must prove that you are a better human being. And since no one is better than another you have to duel.

Hey everyone, Im currently in the Navy, for about 5 months so far. Im going to tell you the straight up facts about it, from what I've gathered so far. First off, the pay is peanuts, so don't join for the money, at least not as a single with no dependents like me. Im a third class petty officer which in 6 months is pretty good, I got it because I did well in my A School and they promoted me. Second, If you have a college degree and want to join the Navy, more power to you, because no matter how high you get in the enlisted ranks you will never be equal to or greater than an LT, unless you are a master chief, which requires about 20 years I think to get if you are lucky. Third, the navy so far has been pretty good to me, in terms of pain/pleasure. Boot Camp was kind of rough, but it is supposed to be rough and I knew that heading into it, which is why it was relatively easy for me. A School for IT's (my rate) was pretty easy for me, and I excelled here because I already had a preexisting knowledge of computers. I am about to head off 2 years overseas to Europe for shore duty, and then either will get another shore duty assignment or sent to a carrier. At this project rate that Im heading, I should be E-5 upon leaving the service, which for 4 years is pretty good. The GI bill is a nice bonus if you dont have the funds to pay for college in the first place. Also you can earn college credits online or on campuses while you are stationed at shore commands, so you could probably get a AA or close to it in 3 years of casual attendance. Now about what you do in the navy. First, its nothing like they show in the commercials, but hey...its a commercial meant to attract massive quantities of people. The guys they show on the commercials are Seals or SWICC, basically the guys that use stealth and carry out top secret missions in IRAQ,AFGAN. I havent done anything rate (job) specific yet, but that is probably since I have only been to boot/a school. The work that I've done involves cleaning,swabbing,mopping,wipi ng down, and scrubbing them toilets lol. Basically, dont expect to do what you signed up for unless you make rank fast and get to E-5. Which most people do not get within 4 years of enlistment. Well, sorry for the long post haha, but if you guys have any comments or whatever, just post below me.

Have a fine navy day!

I feel a lot safer with OBAMA than the dumb asses that run our military. So stop being racist!! Stop hiding your racism with underlining politics. Remember it was rich white men that got us into this trouble in the first place. Looking to reap huge rewards from oil. It is about time we use green energy anyway. KIll the FAT CATS and there will be peace. GLEN BECK and RUSH LINBAR should die in their own crap that they spew out.

How much glod have you bought in the last year? None is my guess! You will be completely broke soon relying on the muslim for free handouts!!!
Obama Sucks!!!
<quoted text>
I don't worry about free handouts as I never got any from any rich white guy. Never got a job from a rich white guy. Gold? you mean that old monetary standard that again rich white men gotten rid of because it was in their way of power. Now everyone is scrambling to buy it up?
Second why are Americans always worried about free handouts? Are you not suppose to be a Charitable christian nation? Maybe, not anymore now they are more like social Darwinist. Third I do not need to follow any agenda to keep my freedom. I make my own freedom. Being in the military I learned that not to follow. Because people will lead you astray. So one has to be independent. I am not worried about a muslim taking away my freedom. I am more worried about the police and military at home taking it away. These organizations are way more dangerous to our freedom and way of life than any terrorist can be.

Also you talk about giving Muslims their freedom but then you talk bad about them. Make up your mind. Which is it. We are not there to provide anyone with any freedom. We are there to secure the oil and natural gas pipe line. Since China is sucking up a lot of our potential resources the Rich White men want to protect their investments. So again don't fear the muslim fear the rich white guy who is trying to make a buck of the blood and sweat of those so called people you say that want a free handout.

I am not sure how I stumbled across this bulletin, but I wanted to give some input.
I am currently an electronics technician in the navy and absolutely love it. I came in under the aecf program and was not lied to at all. I understood that I could come in as an E-3 because of previous college and would make E-4 upon completion of my A school. The advancement is hard but I almost made E-5 off my first exam with no extra points going into it. So, it can be done.
There are some nerds in the field, but what else would you expect? If you would enjoy working with electronics and are looking at joining, I personally think it is one of the better rates. You work in air conditioned spaces and get a lot of schooling. That is why you sign the two year extension, which by the way, you get a bonus for signing.
ET! IM A DEPER WHO IS GOING INTO THE AECF PROGRAM. I WAS WONDERING IF I COULD PICK YOUR BRAIN ON THE RATING, PLEASE EMAIL ME AT LEVIGNUH@HOTMAIL.COM
Just make sure that your recruiter isn't an idiot and make sure that you are joining for the right reasons.
Good luck.
IM A DEPER WHO IS GOING INTO THE AECF FIELD. I WAS WONDERING IF I COULD PICK YOUR BRAIN ON WHAT ITS ACTUALLY LIKE TO BE AN ET. PLEASE EMAIL ME AT LEVIGNUH@HOTMAIL.COM. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I noticed the sailors with the IT rate seem fairly happy. The saying goes "Choose your rate, choose your fate".

One of my friends is an IT, and actually likes the Navy. Seems like an easy job considering they spend most of the day sitting in front of a computer.

Daily Horoscope for January 7

Libra

Remember that life isn't all fun and games: handle your responsibilities first, then plan how to have a good time. Your impulses, once you yield to them, will have a tendency to lead you further and further from where you need to be. Make sure you lock the door behind you before disappearing; when you're in this kind of mischievous mood, you probably won't want anyone else to know where you're going.
