Back in '79 Command told me I and my wife we're going to the ball. (being held at Elmendorf AFB, Army was there also. Fort Richarson) I told command they could contact my wife, but I would be there. There was no way my wife would go. Was there for about 40 minutes and Co's wife looks at me and says get me the hell out of here. Looks at her husband and tells him she is out of there. She asked me if I had ever been to the "Monkey Warf" Yes mam it't a nice place. Her; Lets go. Went in with her and we sat there until about 1am. She paid for all drinks and bar food.

Never cared for that type of stuff.

Yeah, that's a no-sh****r!

A typical in port duty rotation for nuke submariners when I was active duty was three section duty (24 hour duty every third day) where I stood port-and-starboard watches (6 hours on watch, 6 hours off watch) followed by a full work day the next day.

Toss in various training requirements of all kinds, all-hands evolutions, maintenance, repairs, cleaning, painting and preservation...

Then when we go home, we get to enjoy "quality time" with our families.

Yeah, veterans look at that and WISH the producers would pick us.

In my last enlisted billet before I got my commission, the in-house career advisor for the Marines would tell them, "you're a loser and can't get another job like this on the outside, so just do what you know you're going to do and re-enlist...." lol. He said this to everyone, it was his shtick, everyone knew he was being (somewhat) funny.

Had a POS S3 officer, the kind that liked to hit on deployed NCOs wives. Thought he was king shit & used to like to say, “you need the Army more than the Army needs you!” As I was in the process of retiring, it apparently offended him that I was punching out.

I’d let him embarrass himself in front of an O6 at SOCEUR & publicly proven & denounced him as a liar, so he wasn’t my biggest fan. He got in my face one day while I was outprocessing -
S3- You can’t retire, you don’t have the balls.
Me- think you can stop me, Eddie?
S3- I’ll…. sputter & spit, angry Field Grade officer noises…!
Me- Dafuq you gon do about it, Ed? You got the horsepower to pull my packet? You gonna stamp my meal card “no dessert “?
S3- more sputtering
Me- ‘member that BS you like to spout about “you need the Army more…”?
S3- all puffed up, “yeah?”
Me- I don’t need it anymore, asshole.
S3- mutters under his breath as I walk off

F-ing idiot. The hell did he expect, screwing with a 20 years in service E7 with a reputation for not putting up with stupidity?
