Seventh fleet USN" sailors" and officers now cannot drink between 10:00 pm and 8:00 am, even in their own quarters, and must be back in their quarters by 11:00 pm. Amazing lack of leadership…

I can not find the words.
I’m passing this info to the few remaining squadron mates from my Navy years.
Bet they won’t have the words either.
Do we really believe the admirals won’t have a drink past 2200? Or the C/O’s, or the E1’s for that matter. The USN was always famous for passing rules that were not enforceable. Another example.
This was back in 68, they’d get the boot today:

The picture was taken at a Sadie Hawkins party at the Jr. Officer’s Club in the BOQ at NAS Agana, Guam. Nothing naughty was going-on, we all had fun. It lasted until closing which was 0200. Imagine that!

I can certainly tell you that the ghost of Bull Halsey is NOT amused at the sight of fighting US naval officers wearing golf pro blazers and skivvies even if they ARE drinking!
I suppose that profanity was banished long ago and is never heard on a USN vessel without fear of severe written reprimand!
This is the NEW USN of 2012…Fucking ballet dancers in service dress blues! To use the words of George Patton…couldn’t fight it’s way out of a pissed soaked paper bag!
Chill out, c.captain, this was R-n-R and private and not in a war zone.
You must be a lot of fun to be around.

Man…when I get lit, I am a flaming meteor!

Don’t burn your candle at both ends.
I am so glad I got out when I did.
You may have noticed, I removed my Navy photos from so long ago, This really is a Maritime Forum. I like it as such and will no longer post photographs of my Navy time. They can be so misunderstood.
Fuck it - one more ~

When I was active duty 88-91, things had cooled off considerably from the shoreside escapades I listened to growing up. O-club atmosphere was like drinking in a funeral parlor. When it was time to have real fun it was independent steaming and far away.
In addition to the cufew and no drinking hours, when active duty do venture off base the must use a buddy sytem, (George Thorogood frowns). Also the Flag has ordered all USN members in Japan to have their records searched back 3 years for evidence of “alcohol related incidence” so they can be weeded out. Once the undesirerables are are out of Japan, the curfew/drinking hours will be repealed. This whole thing must really be killing business on the Honch and in Sailor Town
I don’t get it. Treating active duty military - even officers - like children.
Screw that. Let me graduate, get my license, and work in the real world. At least in the real world, I can call BS and quit if the stupidity gets to be too much.
Just because one has gold on their visor or on their shoulder does not make them impervious to acting like a jack-ass. look at all the RFC in the Navy the past few years.

Once you’ve gotten out of a job that you can’t quit, you’ll never worry about being fired anywhere else. Having the ability to quit is like a secret weapon for me.
Btw I’ll say this now for those at the academy. If you consider yourself energetic, eager, or motivated then seriously consider not joining the Navy. My experience is that the Navy is very adept at squandering young talent with ridiculousness. I base this strictly on my experience. Others probably have much better opinions, mileage will vary.

It’s called retirement.

I was in the reserves and got activated after the infamous Gulf of Tonkin "incident’ (remember the flawed intelligence or was it an outright lie?), requested orders to Flight Training and was accepted. After receiving your Wings of Gold you have an obligation, an obligation I never even thought of not making, in fact none of us back then did. I sincerely enjoyed Squadron life, shoot we all did, but I knew I could never make the Navy a career, a Reserve Officer, plus a non Naval Academy graduate didn’t stand a ghost of a chance to advance beyond O4, a few made O5, very few, (augmentation into Regular was an option, an option I didn’t take). BTW, most of us reserves types got along just fine. For me, taking my Honorable after I completed my required service was the right decision but I’m the type who never had a problem knowing who I was/am. Returning back to the US Merchant Marine proved exactly the right choice. Now all this was a long time ago, I feel the times have changed so much I would absolutely hate my life in the Navy today.
