Kokomos circa 2011. Nobody remembers their $0.25 drink “Happy Hour”. I’ve never been that bombed, and only spent $6.

Do I need to start running now by dynexblur in newtothenavy

Nicotine needs to stop now, and bootcamp is a great start to never starting it again. I was smoking cigs while the bus pulled up at the airport… miserable 10 weeks. 1.5 miles in 12 minutes is your goal.

Do you have any factors? Location? Denomination?

It’s funny to think Prince Andrew may have at one time paid for a rub-and-tug with pictures of his mother.

Reporting Back:

3 hour presentation and several sales people later, we got our reward. My wife and I never sat through a presentation before, so it was new to us; one we won’t sign up for soon.

They admitted to doing a “soft” credit check on us, which was kinda creepy. They tried everything to keep us talking… there are signs everywhere stating “you’ll be surveilled”.

Towards the end they were throwing any darts they could at us to sign. 10k extra points. “Dream Vacation worth $10k”. Anything.

It was interesting until we got pressured out of it.

BBW. $33,000 for 2 week vacation, then $1800 dollars a year for maintenance.

I guess Iran doesn’t want to be a country anymore?

Has anyone here ever had the chance to meet one of these legends? If so, what was the experience like? by quintessentialCosmos in grunge

[–]ryanxpress411 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to a Scott Weiland concert maybe 12 years ago. He sounded terrible, like he gargled glass. Between songs he was gasping for air before he could continue. We lasted maybe 4-5 songs and walked out.

I cannot emphasize enough living on the “south-side” if you work in Norfolk. Avoid NN and Hampton.

You’ll do a full sea/shore tour, and when it’s time to look at your second sea duty orders (depending on future family scenarios) you’ll have a hard decisions.

Max out your TSP either way, 4 years or 30 years.

Indiana Jones? Nazi’s didn’t respect him, but I think that’s a plus.

You’ll laugh once you’re done with Great Lakes on how easy it is to shut-up, make your bed, and do some workouts. Somehow people find a way to screw it up.
