My first boss loved to talk about the time he had a fourway with three Thai hooker during a port call in Bangkok. It was defiantly weird meeting his wife and kids after hearing that story.
Had a Buddy who told a group of girls that he was the chief of staff for the senator from Wyoming. Their eyes lit up because they were poly-sci majors and had tons of questions for him. His story fell apart pretty quick and then they mocked him for lying.
First time at a bar I told a girl I was in the Navy her response was, “what went wrong in your life that caused you to not go to college?”
I told her I did go to college on a Navy scholarship and was an Officer.
She replied “Oh so you grew up poor and needed a scholarship?”
I walked away.
The “I have a problem but I don’t want to solve it” conversation is the only thing more frustrating then the “I’m up for anything, besides each of your suggestions” game.
Drinking on a flight is the best way to pass the time. Also if your flying home to see family it is a requirement to get enough of a buzz on the flight that it lasts through the car ride home from the airport until you can start drinking again at their house.
I always found on the Sub that if I let the LPOs run their division’s day to day, I could work with them to put together long range plans and then everything just worked. Plus I had a standing policy that my Department would not work passed lunch on Fridays in port and of course sobriety-free port calls were always mandatory overseas.
Me: “so your telling me that two of our guys got into a bar fight with each other and are now sitting in a Norwegian jail”
Boss “yeah so figure it out. Can you expense their bail?”
Me: ‘Not unless the two of us wanna join them”
One of my favorite middle of the night calls while in a foreign country.
I agree, I moved to Annapolis 2 years ago and rec leagues are the best way to meet new people. Great way to get some mid week happy hour and beers on the field in.
Studied for the GMAT this spring which was the worst, totally relate to this. Best feeling ever was getting the score I needed on my first try and getting to cancel my retest in Aug saving myself from having to waste the summer on it.
Any event that we need to be on time for I always tell my wife that it starts at least half an hour before it does. She caught on when I stopped panicking about being late. We now have an agreement that if we ever arrive by the time I tell her something starts she can spend the difference between then and the actual start time being mad at me, has yet to happen.
I agree. Also the FOMO part is dead on. I constantly had FOMO not just about weddings and stuff but also about spending your 20’s in a cool city and not in a military town. Now I’m stationed in the DC area so its great, but those middle of nowhere bases are the worst.

I’m a fan of Rams Head’s beer cocktails over the painkiller but it’s not a bad option.

Hahahaha wouldn’t trade my worst day living in the Frat house for the best day living in Bancroft.

I have a love hate relationship with HGTV. I love to watch it, however I and my bank account hate it when my wife watches it.
Whoever runs against him just needs a pic of JoJo in that blue dress from last week to prove that he makes terrible decisions.

Great advice I got on my first day, ” You can always fuck up, just don’t fuck down.”
