Heading back to Great Lakes as an E-5 should be.. interesting, at most. Prepared for "Petty officer" all day every day, and that glorious mess hall.

The weirdest thing that I can remember from boot camp is while the rest of the division was running laps for PT one day the RDCs had me sing Baby Got Back over the PA but as a country song. I don't begin to remember how that situation came about.

Haha man I'd hate to be a fleet returnee at Great Lakes. Stay away from them females! But god drat that chow hall was unreal. Probably the best I've seen in the Navy. Funny people went straight from a-school and being, well, more healthy and active than they normally are. Then to eating wings every day.

I heard the rumors about it happening a few months after I got out of boot but figured it was bullshit. Then one of my A-school instructors transferred to my boat in 96/97 I forget, and he told me how one of the guys in A-school pulled out a stress card he had from boot when he was yelling at him about him doing lovely on a test. I don't know if it is an accurate story because they guy loved to tell stories but there is my 'story' about it.

Yep, they said so in both the HEY GO TO PROTOTYPE/long term letter, since Miami is 'structurally unsound' or some garbage (I'm honestly shocked Miami didn't' get turned into a MTS, even with it failing subsafe it could have been strengthened enough to be another floating trainer.

Oh yeah, googling it says they decommed it two weeks ago and it's headed for the scrapyards. Kind of a shame, the Miami was always one of the happier boats on an unhappy waterfront. They were also (through no fault of their own) part of the reason we ran aground, so

If you're the old man you should wear red shoes covered in sequins to gently caress with everyone just because. Or high-heeled pirate boots that go up to your knees.

 Public Service Announcement In case you guys don't bother to read the big red server announcements at the top of the page, CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. OpenSSL had a major security breach that resulted in people being able to use a rather simple Python scripts to trawl for log-in/password information for any site that uses OpenSSL for security. SA was effected by this but it was patched this morning, so any password you make now should be ok.
