But if you are given pause by “military lifestyle” then consider if going to Sea is really where you want to be. There are many situations where orders are given and that’s the deal -
After you get out you most likely not see a uniform again in your career .[/QUOTE]
Good point.
The orders thing doesn’t really bother me, it’s moreso the upperclassmen old being a complete dick to underclassmen because it’s ‘the tradition’. I’d rather just get in, learn what I need, do what I’ve got to do, and get to sea.
I guess you could say learning what I need involves learning to put up with that. I just don’t see the translation to life at sea. But, I could be very wrong about that.
