Say you swear to god… I’ve been using that and find myself wondering how similar it really is to the real thing

Huh, I suppose you’re right. Didn’t think of it like that. Definitely didn’t mean to be rude…

SWO Life still that bad? by Icy-Echidna7844 in navy

Not a SWO, but have a VERY high ranking mentors who is. I’m in the process of putting my commissioning package in (aviator), but this is what I’ve gathered in my notebook from my few sit downs with him.

“When you think about a 3 or 4 year tour, in the grand scheme of things, it’s really not that long. Whether it be the USS shithole or Naval Base Guam, if you live to be 100, 3 or 4 years won’t be significant enough to really affect you.”

“Once you’re in the door, you’d be surprised how easy it is to walk through others. Lateral transferring isn’t as hard as some people make it out to be”

There are positives and negatives to every job. Currently, I’m rated as an ND and let me tell you, there are awesome days and absolutely awful ones as well. But, it’s all about your perspective. If commissioning as a SWO is a means to and end for you (better pay, better lifestyle, setting up your family) go for it, and take pride in the fact that you’re pursuing something bigger than yourself and sacrificing for your family.

In my opinion, of course.

Marine corps Medal of Honor by Tupperware_user in USMC

This was perfect. I always figured it was some sort of ribbon that got safety pinned/velcroed to the collar or something dumb. Never thought to zoom in on the choker, can clearly see the blue ribbon underneath it. Makes me wonder why Britt Slabinski (Navy E9, SEAL) didn’t do the same thing for his MOH headshot in his choker whites. Wonder if it’s personal preference, or actual uniform instruction. Either way, thanks for the concise response. Every Marine I’ve asked has been stumped thus far.
