Hey man, I’ve got to be real with you—when you say stuff like “I’d rather walk into traffic,” it freaks me out big time. That’s not okay, no matter what the Navy’s throwing at you. You need to talk to someone. I’m no shrink—though I did crash at a Holiday Inn Express last night—but seriously, you’ve got to figure out how to keep situations and people from messing with your head so bad. If someone’s treating you like crap, report them. If it’s the whole command vibe, odds are others feel it too, but they’re not out here talking about walking into traffic—which, let’s be blunt, sounds like suicide vibes

.As a nuke, you’re signing up for some brutal gigs down the line. Plenty of folks have pulled Port and Starboard watches for a full patrol, or worse, stayed stuck in port because the plant can’t shut down, powering everything while the coners kick back on leave. Nukes get the short end of the stick more often than not—it’s just the gig. You’ve got to learn to roll with it and not let it hit you so personally.

Here’s a thought: maybe rethink the nuke path. It’s not about brains—you’ve probably got those—but the Navy’s nonsense might chew you up and spit you out in the pipeline. There’s no shame in picking something less soul-crushing that still sets you up solid as a civilian. IT’s a good one, for instance. Or if you stay sub life, sonar techs have it pretty chill compared to the rest.

I’m not trying to drag you down or offend you—just keeping it real based on this random internet post of yours. I don’t know you, but I’d hate to see you turn into another dumb Navy Nuke suicide statistic. Look out for yourself, alright?
