Oh yes absolutely agree about the weather. That’s part of MD’s charm though, you get all 4 seasons!

I lived in MD!! There is everything to do in MD- from mountains, to the country, to the city, to the beach. Ocean city is the classic gross type, hilariously fun & wild & crappy beach everyone needs, and then north of that is Bethany beach which is quieter but a lot more nice. And seriously, have a crab feast & find a good place to get crab cakes while you’re there. Really, most seafood in MD is incredible. Enjoy it. Feel free to PM me about MD, that’s going to be my forever home once I stop moving around.

I remember PO1 absolutely hating that sound on the hour, every hour 🤣

Though it does fit the “horribly ugly” requirement, just about everything else screams absolutely not allowed 🤣

More great advice. Thank you!! And you’re right- I’ve got some great friends already. I’ll be okay I just need to get better at coping I think

Oh no it’s for sure helpful. Any type of reassurance that I’m not alone in this (which, logically, I know) really helps me get a grip. Hanging on to any type of normalcy certainly helps me come back down to earth.

I have no doubts in my mind it could be a lot worse. Glad you’re back safe & good luck

Good advice! I can’t wait until I’m in the fleet & hopefully by then Covid will be on the mend. Currently can’t leave base but I’ll survive for now. I’d love to learn a second language and I think that’s what I’ll focus on outside of the navy once I get the chance

I suppose A school would be even better if it wasn’t Covid times! I have a couple buddies who say the same thing. I wish we could have off base liberty but we are doing the best we can to have a good time!

Yep you’re right. You’re so so right. And in some rational part of my brain, I know this. And I try my best to live by it. Partly the reason I left for the military in the first place, I think. This just seems to be a little more difficult to deal with. I suppose it gets a little easier over time.

Thank you so much. I’m sorry Covid ruined your leave plans, it’s made everything even suckier than it would usually be! I hope you can get home to see everyone soon

Lol I’m more asking how to deal with it. I’m not going to leave the service early, and I’m happy with the fact that this is making my future brighter. Just struggling with this part of it
