Looks like the Navy is having difficulty in overcoming generations of politically correct immersive education. Perhaps more participation trophies is the answer. I'm just saying . . . |

This is tough . . .
This is not . . .
And this approach is not likely to make the un-tough, tough . . .

Not saying I was tougher, but I seem to remember my chief saying something to the effect about me trying to remove his shoe from my asshole, if I didn't do what i was told to do his way... I never wanted to kill myself or get depressed. My only thoughts were that maybe the chief would die of a heart attack seeing how old he was... BTW he never did die.

Yeah, I used to think those chiefs were really old, too. Why, even though most of them were a little over 30, some were almost 40 years old, for goodness sakes! I mean, what the heck did those old ph*rts know anyway? It's interesting how some things remain the same, while one's perspective changes over time. The older I got the smarter they got. So, I reckon they knew what they were talking about after all. Especially those wearing a WWII War Patrol pin. |

I describe my early years saying, "They handle me with kid gloves. Sometimes they beat me with them but, THEY HANDLED ME WITH KID GLOVES!!!"
