I leave for the Hilton in three hours.

wow that's so cool...

i've traveled with a huge ship before and we were on the ocean for 48 hours, and there was a big storm so that's why the trip took so long, naturaly it was supposed to take only 24 hours.

Have fun n best wishes n stay safe :) :)

Good luck at basic.

 

One thing I want to know: I observed that large groups of enlisted (usually E-4 and below) moving about, upon seeing an officer in the distance, would tend to segregate into smaller groups, in order to make the officer have to return multiple salutes, presumably to see if his arm would fall off. What I want to know is, was this something that was taught at basic, or is it just instinctual?

Keep yer jib tight and yer scuppers clean, mate! Arrrrr!

I heard about that! Didn't you end up stranded with six other castaways on an island in the Pacific?

You have no idea. I was 10 when they cancelled that show.

Hey, I watched that show when I was little. I guess it must have been reruns though. It was my favourite. (gilligan right?)

POGOStick's Island

 

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,

A tale of a fateful trip

when Pogo joined a Navy crew,

aboard this mighty ship.

 

(take it...)

Be sure to check out Highland park if you get a chance. It's a wonderfull town.

 

I actually went there like every weekend. I took the train. I would get breakfast at this pancake house and then I would go to Borders and maybe see a movie.

Speaking of army/navy, I'll have to choose between army (6 to 12 months), 395 days of civilian service (link) or jail. :| Some have seeked political refuge from another country or organization but I've heard it hasn't gone too well.
