Had a recruiter stop by my desk about two years after I enlisted, and tried to pitch the navy to me.
I started laughing at him, then when he got all offended and mentioned me "working in a dead end job in the middle of nowhere" I shot back with "beats DYING in the middle of nowhere, where nobody above your CO will even bother reading the casualty report let alone care" , and that if the navy REALLY wanted me they should have returned my calls after I got a medical discharge for having emergency surgery in basic, then denying my reenlistment due to having a surgery in my adult life.
Of course at this point in my life, with the knowledge and ideals, I wouldn't touch the MIC with a 899.16cm pole.
Thank you for your take.
Completely unrelated to what you said, I appreciate seeing so many star trek fans around here. It really makes lemmy feel like a home.
I'm a huge trek nerd so this place is basically like A Little Piece of Heaven.
I'm slowly getting my wife into it, but she's still learning the basics so it's great to have a place to read and discuss the finer points.
Like how much RICK FUCKING BERMAN sucks ass, and how Captain Jellico may be a good starfleet captain but he's still an asshole and not a great enterprise captain
That's pretty much exactly how I feel about it top. It's very refreshing.
Same. We are currently wrapping up TNG season 1, but we are certainly getting through it, and she loves it enough to keep going which is great.
I usually keep the star trek conversations to my star trek account though.
I'll admit I'm not as familiar with the background stuff like that, but pretty much everything I hear about Berman is not good.
Hey don't be dismissive of the pole! I have you know that there is a MIl-STD for the pole and only 3 companies are authorized providers for the pole. Do you know how much testing went into that pole? Plus the colonial who headed up the pole project is now working for the approved vendor in umm management of quality.
