That is of course assuming the put on a carrier. The only way to almost guarntee that is to be a pilot. Any other trade in the Navy and you could be serving on a tincan looking for Russky's in the North Sea!!Quote:

I guess Marines just sit on their ass and twiddle their thumbs. Maybe we should get rid of Recon, I mean, not as if they were literally the first troops to cut through Iraq and make it past Baghdad.Quote:

I had a similar problem. Plus my eye-sight wasn't probably good enough. So, when they asked where I'd like to serve, I answered "whatever". The next I knew I found myself 400 km north-east in field artillery in a small town I had to look up on a map.Quote:

That's a tank crew job for you then. You need some space to carry the important stuff, like your ass. My most important piece of equipment in military exercises was my pillow, never went anywhere without it. :D Or without a coffee maker, or cardboard plates.Quote:
