I graduated from Navy boot camp a little less than a month ago and now I'm in A school in Florida. My job or rate is Aviation Electrical Technician or AT. It's great I'm basically paid to go to school. I started class yesterday. It's pretty boring but not too much work yet.
None of the girls here are super pretty and a lot of them seem masculine as fuck, personality wise and there pretty ghetto. Not like I give a fuck I'm just living for me right now.
My boot camp experience was pretty bad. I did have some fun meet a lot of people. But I got made fun of a lot. I'm a very forgetful person so I tend to fuck up a lot. I'm not good at marching, I can never stay in step. I can keep my rack clean but the issue was that I had to fold and set up my rack their specific way. Now that I'm in A school or military school I still have to keep my barracks room clean. But I can fold shit and make my bed the way I want. Other than that the RDCs (recruit division commanders the naval equivalent of a drill sergeant) made me of a target of theirs specifically and they where hard asses on me all the time. One of them said that I was their dumbest recruit. So yeah sometimes they would make fun of me and egg on the others to do so too. Which is insane because I know I was not the worst recruit. I never talked back I just took what they said on the chin. But words hurt a lot for me so I took a lot of it to heart.
But it is kind of my fault for being a shit bag even if I try to do the right thing.
Here's one story. My lead RDC stops us in the middle of marching and asks where I am. So I say my name and he asks why he's been getting phone calls about me fucking up. Then he tells me he's going to beat me worse than anybody has ever been by him. So I start freaking out on the inside but I keep my composure but I am still visibly nervous. So we get back to our living quarters he calls me into his office where I get interrogated by somebody else. By the end of it I learn I did nothing wrong. He just did this to fuck with me or I guess scare me. I know before 2010, boot camp was probably way worse. So even for what I went through imagine what the guy is back in Vietnam had to go through in boot camp. They were actually fucking punched in the face which makes me feel like a total pussy.
I don't know how long I'm going to stay in the military for though. Maybe I'll ride this 5-year contract out or maybe I'll make a career out of it. Definitely not going to do 20 years at least not active duty. But that's what's they all say right??? Maybe in 20+ years I'll find myself still in the Navy. I definitely do want to utilize either that Montgomery or post 911 GI Bill GI Bill and go back to college one day and find a nice job somewhere. Get the VA home loan and everything. But shit right now ain't too bad at least I'm not rotting away in my room anymore like the NEET I was. Maybe I'll go back to that one day too. Also if I die in war that wouldn't be the worst way to go. Given the alternative I probably would have died in my room on my gaming chair.
