The Navy, The Worst Institution Ever

So, I'm having to do something I never...ever thought I'd have to do. In January, the RR is moving it's home port to WA for a year's stay in the dry docks. To get my wife, Ashley, up to WA with me, I have to extend my military service...for five days. That's right, my EAOS is five days short of the year mark where people like myself may move their significant, spousely others up to Bremerton to stay with them. I have to do my Career Development Board tomorrow to try to convince my Department LCPO that it'll benefit the Navy and me to let me extend until the 10th of January. Wish me luck, guys; I think I'm going to need it.

Oh. And I hate Perform to Serve. It's the stupidest shit. Evar.

Sounds like you love the Navy almost as much as Anderson loves the Marines. Although to be fair, it's only five days and it means your wife's moving with you, but good luck and god speed on your quest to bullshit your way into... staying in the Navy for longer.

Man, most people try to bullshit their way out of military service.

Yup, that's what I thought. I remember the days where you could walk up to your OIC and grab his nuts in public and say, "Hey, sir, I'm gay and have the hots for you." Out the next day. Those were the days. Oh, and thanks for changing my title; made my day.

I take it you plan to re-up after your current service ends?
