Top 10 for 2009

no but you have to be an alcoholic

apparently i scored in the top something percent and qualified for the nuclear power program but that would involve 15 months of school and probably years stationed on a nuclear submarine. i doubt im going to join, just checking my options.

 

alcohol and being out in the middle of the ocean on a giant floating vessel I wouldnt think mix well.

 

How long you have to sign up for Bro?

 

i believe the standard is 3 years active plus 5 years reserve? not 100% on that

 

Any idea of what specialisation you would want to be trained in yet?

 

1. my dreaddies turned 3 years old!
2. still got my job
3. graduated high school! ...started college.
4. went to two Phish shows! first time seein em
5. got my third and fourth tattoos
6. none of my really close friends or family developed any serious illness, or died.
7. my car is still runnin good!
8. had some fun summer adventures
9. made some new friends
10. i'm alive!

 

if i do join, it would be the nuclear power program.

why so interested?

 

nuclear power program?! Wow. That sounds scary.

 

I was in the South African Navy, many years ago ... compulsory conscription ... Operations Fireman

 

my dad has been in the navy for 20+ years and has never been on a boat for them

 

tell me more. what's his MOS?

it seems that everyone i know that is/was in the navy got to go on the ship at least once. the recruiter said that the ships leave port every 1.5 yrs for 6 months at a time.

 

Ahoy ... it also has something to do with what you are doing ... I was in Operations Department, which is the name the functions of the Marines took on when the Marines were disbanded. So, technically speaking, I was Brown Navy, not Blue Navy ... I was mostly based in the naval harbour at Simons Town, Cape Town or the Armaments Depot on the mountain. I was trained on every class of vessels, including subs, but never served on them. Those who were guaranteed of serving long periods on vessels were gunners, Coms, EWs, mechanics, chefs, medical … etc, low ranking peeps with no specialisation ended up serving only as ‘hands’ on vessels that were in the docks.

 

1. i fell in love
2 i finally got dreadlocks
3 i went to northern cal for the first time
4 i learned humility
5 i went to my first rainbow gathering
6 im much better at making fires than i used to be
7 i got the most wonderful pets.. rip dude.
8 i met some of the nicest people this year hitchhiking
9 i still have a little tan from florida
10 i got to witness a winter wonderland in nebraska and i respect my grandparents more than i used to.

 

I don't know what MOS means. He has been in the Navy Reserves for quite a while now so maybe that has something to do with it. He is a Nurse.

He has been deployed to Kuwaite and Germany, though and had a bit of time off to travel around those places.
