I was afraid someone would think I was being critical of the Navy when I said good and bad, but I also respect the military as much as anyone else. I served 3 years in the Army, my nephew is serving in Iraq with the marines, so I think they are awesome. But the Navy is like any gov't service, to some extent...
the recruiters show you all the cool stuff, but not the cleaning toilets part, or my favorite...when I was going through teletype school, the second shift students would come in every night at 1am, drunk and making noise in the bay...I still wish I had coldcocked that dumb SOB who screwed up my sleep every night...
when I went through basic, they had drafted all these puerto ricans whose constant refrain was "no comprende"...drove the DIs nuts and they took it out on us...
let's face it, the military does a lot of stupid crap but I support them 100% and this show does illustrate how tough a job it is.
