The CQ at 622b is often this Navy E4 that got busted down from E5 for a DUI after 4 weeks in. He is always there every morning when I go to PT wishing me a "Fantastic Workout~!!!" and is probably the single most flaming person I've seen on base.
I told a Navy classmate about him and apparently, he was seen at a huge murder lodge party sitting in another dude's lap kissing and jacking him off with astonishing fervor.

I have also seen Indiana Jones guy and openly laugh at him every chance I get.

There is a weird guy in the Combs dining hall who rocks back and forth while he eats and shoves entire ice cream cones and pies into his mouth and chews disgusting, open-mouthed bites while making starving dog noises. I know this because he is in the Army and seeks out other soldiers to sit with because "this place rubs me the wrong way" *giggles manically under breath, rocks back and forth rapidly.

I remember walking by the Navy barracks the day they masted those dozen or so dumbasses that were caught using drugs. What is wrong with this place?
All of my friends here are normal, smart people, but we are literally surrounded by sperglords on base.

Worst part, I'm only 5 months in to my Chinese course. I'm stuck here for another year.


edit: oh yeah, and the Navy flamers who can be seen at the Cannery Row Pizzeria any given Friday night, belting out Karaoke lyrics to Brittany Spears, "Toxic" without even facing the screen.

What is the "murder lodge"?

It's the Travel Lodge motel on Munras ave. So named because of its proximity to the base and inexorable fate as the hookup palace between sweaty enlisted men and their fat, willing bar-fly floozies.


and has anyone else noticed how many of the seagulls in this town use crosswalks?

I think the key to success here (not going section 8) is taking time for yourself everyday to relax and play your guitar a little, maybe go for a walk, watch furry animals playfully frolicking in the woods, see the natural wildlife play in the woods, too. Try not to lose yourself in your studies, or you'll probably burn out.
My experience here has been great so far and I still hold onto a 3.8 GPA in spite of everything I find time to do on and off post daily.

This place just keeps on giving. I just went to the smoke pit outside my building and overheard a guy on the phone talk about how he was walking around town and noticed in a house window an old guy watching porn. Now a normal person would probably laugh and keep walking, or be a little sick and keep walking. Hell a normal person wouldn't be looking in other people's windows. This guy however hid in the guys bushes and watched the old man watch porn for 15-20 minutes.

Wow, I just realized I know who you are now.

btw, is that marine-gave-a-raccoon-nyquill-and-then-shaved-it-after-it-passed-out Story true? I heard it today, and while I was incredulous, a part of me (a big part) really wants to put my faith in its veracity.

same poo poo happened last cup. Except ONE kid in the middle navy formation yelled out "YES SIR!"

And apparently some people were saluting the commander from the front row of the navy formation. like, the man says "what do you say, navy?" and a handful of kids did some half-assed salute from across the football field. Honestly guys, first the belts and now this

At least we took first again

I was way in the back of an Army formation at the time, which was lucky, because I was laughing so hard I was tearing up.

Also, for the love of god don't let your branch of service define you-- seriously, people from every service do it and they are by far the ones who see the least amount of social interaction. Just remember that you all are literally doing the same job (when you do your actual job) and no one cares how long your basic was, or if you're a marine or an armydude or a navything.

Just want to reiterate this. I'm finishing up Chinese (3 weeks out from my OPI) and all but one of my army classmates are complete sperglords. Limiting my social interaction to solely them would have made life here unbearable. The navy guys in my class; however, have been fun as hell to hang out with and have made my time here actually quite memorable.

edit: P.S. oh yeah, be sure to grab your AA degree while you're at it and stay out of the mucky duck, etc. etc...
