Shenanigans Local #666 -- You Paid Your Dues, Now Kick Off Them Shoes!

Good Morning All!!!

Thursday!!!

28 years ago I left for Naval Boot Camp in Great Lakes, Illinois. Man that kid was an asshole.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

He was about to learn so much....poor kid. 🤣🤣

Daily Specials
Cup of Jungle Juice - on the house.🤣🤣🤣
Yakisoba with a side of applesauce. - No Seconds!!!!🤣🤣🤣
Knowing you will later be pooping in an open stall, where everyone can watch... relieving.🤣🤣🤣🤣

 
Yeah, man, you disgusting fuckin' boot! :pickle :grin :banana But, alas, I was one, too - and sure had a lot to learn. All those stupid ideas teenagers have get destroyed and rebuilt, pretty quickly, when you go to boot camp. Getting along with 79 other weirdos that are mostly in the same place as you is an odd environment, ain't it?!

Yep.

Talked to my mom about it today. She was the one that dropped me off at the Greyhound station in Cadillac....on my way to MEPS in Lansing.

Such an odd journey. Scary, Uncomfortable and humbling. I was dumb and didn't have a coat after we gave away our clothes and personal belongings.....and it was cold and rainy....yep got sick as hell. Oops.

Service week was a fun time.....i was the Galley yoman that week....so I got a little break from the BS.
I can certainly remember almost all of those days.....like every little detail. Kind of strange.
 
Heh, was so not awake the day I was supposed to take the bus, running around getting ready - actually missed the bus! I was pissed but it wasn't a big deal - went the next day, lmao. Will be 40 years, in 2025, since I left for mine! Sheesh.

I went to the now defunct Orlando RTC. They had to tease us by having a sister company of all girls sit on one side of classrooms with us. Bastards. Of course, younglings are going to be younglings, and we were soon passing notes just like it was middle school. Odd circumstances most have no idea of!

Ugh, I remember that service week, too. Long damn days working in the scullery - hot as fuck sticks. You must've known someone to get that job! :grin

I did Orlando, too. So grateful to have avoided Great Lakes. Whew!

I entered on the "Buddy System" with one of my best buds from school. We went to
MEPS in Detroit together, and took our oath, and then our names were called to go
on to different buses to the Airport---his headed to a flight to Chicago, and mine to
Orlando. :idk We were both like WTF?? :bonk

Welcome to Gubberment work, boys! Where the fucking and fuckery, and no apologies
for any of it, is the norm. :LOL:
