You got luck my man. The Navy sucks. I was in for 4 years and pretty much hated my life, but then again my command was fucking retarded. I was in the Ceremonial Guard in DC, basically just glorified lawn ornaments.
I couldnt take the group punishment because one person was a retard. Some dude hooks his pick up truck to the back door of the barracks and rips the door off. We all get punished for his dumbass, we had to have a watch in the Barracks from them on.
Just random petty shit they would pull to make our lives miserable, like scraping excess wax of the floor for 8 hours because the watch commander was in a bad mood.
Someone shows up with a dirty uniform... 5am uniform inspections for the entire command of 200 people. The military is fucking retarded, you lucked out.
Like I said, I did my 4 years, kept me head down, never made a fuss, but the day I separated I packed my shit, took the Metro to the airport and never looked back. Got my college paid for but man it was SO not worth it.
I'd like to clarify, I'm bitter because of one command, my last 2 years I spent doing clerical work at NNMC, I loved it, but I knew there was a chance that if I reenlisted I might end up at another bullshit command like my first. I NOPE'd the fuck out of there ASAP.
