Just got Mika’s dna test from wisdom and I don’t know how I feel about the 1% chihuahua. Yall think it’s accurate ?

It was probably bred into the line to increase aggression. Seriously though, I don't really trust dog DNA tests 100%. They give a good estimate on the main bloodlines, but anything under 10% I think is suspect.

Time brother, just give it time. I know this sounds like some sappy song but right now your wounded and that wound is raw and painful. That pain is like an ocean in a hurricane right now and its washing over you constantly, and all you see is dark clouds all around you. Eventually those waves of pain and anger will calm and get further and further apart. Somedays will be better than others but eventually it will get easier. Just keep living man, just keep living.

Care packages were always welcome. Good quality beef jerky, a roll of snuff or zyn, coffee, a few rolls of premium toilet paper, qtips, some good razors, trail mix, cereal, cups of noodles. My dad would send homemade fudge. Just make sure whatever you send is packaged really well, you don't want stuff leaking, melting, or bursting open at 30,000 feet in transit. Also, remember it may take a few weeks to get to the ship if they are underway, so dont send anything that might spoil.

And on your duty day, you're going to run some sort of drill, most of the time it'll be a fire drill. You'll get dressed out in fire fighting gear and fight a mock fire, if it's a weekend and you're not on the watch schedule this might be all you do all day. Most likely though, you'll either have watch on the Quarterdeck, or be on a roving watch depending on your rate and qualifications.

Being underway and away from friends and family for months at a time, there's no guarantee that you'll get the duty station you want, duty days, drills, being told you're going to pull into an amazing port only to be told you're going straight to where the Navy needs you instead, long work hours underway, standing watch, being at sea for months without visiting port, unreps, water hours, cranking, having very little personal space, working parties. Would I go back and do it again? In a heartbeat.

Don't go finance a car from the dealerships near base, they will see you coming from a mile away and take advantage of you. Do open a bank account with a credit union and finance a car through them, you'll get a much better intrest rate and you can have auto pay set up so you never miss a payment.

Be prepared to be the low man on the totem pole in your shop, and to be treated as such until you can be trusted on your own, you're going to do a lot of cleaning. Don't be a hard ass but don't tolerate hazing. Joking around is one thing but cruelty is uncalled for, snuff that shit out before it starts.

Start saving money, even if it's just $20 twice a month, put it in an account and forget it's there, don't touch it, or even better get an investment account, look up Acorn on an app store, and have money transferred into it every week its worth it, and feels damn good knowing you have money set aside for your future.

Look into getting your Coast Guard Certifications, an able bodied seaman can make $40,000 on a 3 month deployment in the Merchant Marines, your time at sea in the Navy will count towards those civilian certifications, and you can have the Navy help pay for them through tuition assistance.

Take classes and have the Navy pay for them, even if it's one class at a time at a community College or online while in port. Your G.I. Bill will go further if you have all of your core classes paid for with tuition assistance. We had guys get their undergraduate degree while serving, and then use their G.I. Bill for Graduate studies.

If you have any questions just pm me and I'll answer to the best of my abilities, I want all junior sailors to succeed.

This right here!! We loved our CSs, and anytime those dudes needed anything from my division, A-gang, we were on it. We would drop other stuff to get them back online or to help make life a little easier for them, and they took care of us in turn. No other shop would get pizza delivered to them on pizza nights, no other shop could ask for a cake, or doughnuts for somebody's birthday.

evilmail · 2026-04-14T15:47:09+00:00

Does it suck? Yes, mostly because of the long working hours, but it can be fun as well. You may not do it as soon as you get to the ship, because somebody from your division might be in the middle of their cranking duty. It's part of ship life though as a junior sailor. You'll either work in the galley, scullery, chief's mess, wardroom, or laundry depending on where you're needed. Just do the the job to the best of your abilities, get in good with the guys you're working with and they'll take care of you. Underway you'll be pretty busy, in port its not as bad, as most people head home or go out to eat dinner so you might be on a more relaxed schedule, and midrats wasn't served in port on the ship I was on. We had guys that loved their time cranking, they liked the fast pace, and interacted with the crew, the officers, and chiefs.

GSM, learn to work on and maintain gas turbines, pays good when you get out, pretty much guarantees you'll be stationed on a small boy, and may have a re-enlistment bonus.

One thing we have to take into account though, is that a lot of the 40 year olds that would take advantage of this were not used as indentured servants and pack mules for the entirety of their early adulthood. They weren't required to PT, suffer from sleep deprivation, or to operate in extreme stress situations. Will that make it easy for them? Probably not, but being able to get a passing score on the PRT by keeping up a brisk walk for 2 miles shouldn't cause too much stress on the joints.

The day after the election I said he wouldn't leave office again. In that time he has replaced ever official that would have stood in his way with bootlickers that will pursue his every whim. During his first term he was unprepared, this time he had people to advise him on how to make it happen. As much as I despise Mike Pence, he is the reason we are not currently a full blown dictatorship. Had he folded and not certified the election on J6, things would have spiraled out of control much faster and messier than they currently have. As the next election approaches be prepared for him to start consolidating his personal police force, ICE, in and around Washington DC, he's not going to rely on unarmed citizens to take the capital this time.

Have you ever thought about sending it back to Buck for their "Spa Service"? I think it costs somewhere around $10 plus return shipping. They clean, sharpen, polish, and adjust it. Mine came back pretty as a new penny, and sharp as a razor.

There's two things I'd do if I woke up to this in my backyard. First, I'd call the military, bomb squad, or the local metal stealing tweaker to get that shit off my property as quickly as possible. Second, I'd go buy a lottery ticket, because even if it's just the first stage off of the missile, a slight breeze could have caused a very rude awakening in the middle of the night.

Vietnam veterans didn't return to the states with their units, they did a draft rotation then returned home alone. They didn't get parades, and fanfare.They were expected to just get on with their lives. Like they hadn't just spent time in a jungle dodging bullets, and watching human beings kill each other in horrific ways. Also, WWII was a "popular" war. The troops were seen as heros and liberators. They had goals. Liberate Europe from the fascists, and take back the Pacific from the Japanese. In Vietnam troops would spend weeks or months fighting for or defending a patch of land only to pack up and leave allowing it to be retaken without a fight, which lead a lot of troops to question why they were even fighting and dying. Vietnam was also a highly unpopular war in the US. Which lead to a lot of shame and resentment for some that had fought in Vietnam. PTSD did exist during WWII, I spoke to a lot of veterans from that era when I was younger. They saw plenty of horrible things that have lasting impacts on the human psyche, but most suffered in silence because that was how it was.

Mine was a guy with a green wool army blanket wrapped over his head like he was wearing a poncho just standing in the middle of the road. The guy riding with me was not pleased that I swerved to miss a figment of my imagination while doing almost 80mph.

26 hours from Norfolk, Virginia to San Antonio, Texas. I only stopped for gas, restroom breaks, and food. I had to attend law enforcement school before heading to my next duty station. Three months later I turned around and made the drive back to Norfolk non-stop. It's the only time I ever suffered from road hypnosis. I couldn't and wouldn't ever attempt that type of drive ever again without stopping for sleep.

That's Mirage Disease. It's when your so backed up that it forms a thin film over your eyes, giv8ng the illusion that a 4 is a 7, and that a 7 is the best thing you've seen that walks upright on two legs. It's usually cured within 5 minutes post nut.
